Egyptian real estate developer M squared has extended its title sponsorship of the Saqqara Half Marathon for a third consecutive year, as the event prepares to introduce a 21-kilometre distance for the first time. The fifth edition of the race, organized by The TriFactory, is scheduled for Friday, 13 February 2026. The 2026 edition will feature 5km and 10km distances alongside the new 21km half marathon. Ayman Hakky, founder and CEO of The TriFactory, said the introduction of the half marathon distance resulted from years of planning within the historic environment. “Reaching a fifth edition and introducing the half marathon distance is the cumulative result of years of planning on the ground,” Hakky said.
