Organised by Generations For Peace, the Dead2Red Cycling, originally established by Amman Road Runners in 1993, is a Race that starts on the shores of the Dead Sea from Ghor al Safi and completes 200km ending at the Ayla Oasis Resort on the shores of the Red Sea. Since the Dead Sea, the lowest point on earth, is around 415 meters below sea level, the entire race is a gradual ascent to sea level.
The Dead2Red Cycling Race has become one of the most popular cycling races in the country, luring both professional federation cyclists and amateurs alike. Cyclists can participate in this event as solo cyclists or in teams of 2 to 4 and must complete the distance in 10 hours. This is a fun, challenging and exciting event. We rely on the honesty of each individual/team to participate within the rules of this event.
The event is not restricted, and is open to all nationalities, ages, genders and fitness levels. The youngest participant each year is usually a teenager, and the oldest is over 60! From weekend cyclists to professionals, the Dead2Red Cycling Race unites people of all backgrounds and nationalities under one goal – to cross that finish line! The race is scheduled to take place on November 14, 2025.
About Generations For Peace
Generations For Peace (GFP) is a Jordan-based global peacebuilding organization that believes peace is more than the absence of conflict, but the presence of justice – a justice defined by trust, opportunity, fairness, dignity, access and and belonging. We work at the grassroots level to empower youth as leaders of change, helping communities overcome division and build lasting resilience from within.
Founded in 2007 by His Royal Highness Prince Feisal Al Hussein on the transformative power of sport, our approach has evolved to include dialogue, arts, advocacy, media, and empowerment. Our evidence-based approaches are proven to spark connection, shift mindsets, and foster meaningful engagement in some of the world’s most fragile contexts.
Our CSR
Our vision is bold: empowered local youth leaders driving inclusive, transformative change to build communities grounded in equity, social cohesion, and sustainable peace. We bring this vision to life through programming that is youth-led, locally owned, inclusive, and rooted in evidence-based learning and behavioral change.
