Does anybody knows, which day the Dead Sea Halfmarathon
took place in 1996? Please tell me. Does anybody knows
the result?

The online results only go back as far as 1998. Although
in those years it has always taken place on a Saturday
in February.

I took part in that race and can tell you that it was
really great. Running on the lowest spot on earth ist
giving a special feeling. Okay, it was really hot but that
I liked and I finished arount 1:30.

I haven't managed to run that one, as I don't run Saturday
races, but I have run the 1/2 marathon in Bet She'an which
is also quite low.

Yes, but I like the scenery around the Dead Sea much more.
En Gedi, Masada, Quran ... there is something special on
that place.

Well ... I've been living in Israel for 2 years. I managed
to take part in some races. My best 1/2 marathon result was
1995 in Tel Aviv with 1:20 until now. Great race.

Yes - pretty "mystical" type area - It would be special to
run there. Actually - the Tiberias marathon is in different
scenery but also very special.

That's a great time also. My best so far is just under 1:24
at Bet She'an last year. Unfortunately the Tel-Aviv 1/2M was
cancelled this year due to municipality problems - lack of
funding and organisation.
