This year, the event coincides with World No Tobacco Day, adding a 'strong' public health and awareness dimension to the race's core message of encouraging women to embrace an active and healthy lifestyle, according to a statement for The Jordan Times. The race aims to promote physical activity as a way of life and raise awareness about the dangers of smoking and the importance of quitting, particularly as Jordan continues to record one of the highest adult smoking rates in the region. This race reflects Run Jordan's commitment, alongside its partners, to empowering women and encouraging their active participation in sports, within a supportive and motivating environment that fosters healthier and more informed communities, the statement said. Organised under the theme 'Run for Yourself', the event is held in collaboration with the Greater Amman Municipality, with the support of several key partners, including Bromine Jordan as the main sponsor, Arab Bank as the gold sponsor, and Jordan Phosphate Mines Company as the silver sponsor. This partnership model exemplifies the importance of public-private cooperation in supporting impactful community and health initiatives. Commenting on the event, General Manager of Run Jordan Lina El-Kurd said: 'This year, we launched a public awareness campaign in conjunction with World No Tobacco Day and the Women's Race to highlight the role of sports in promoting public health and preventing tobacco-related harm.' 'We strongly believe that community participation especially among women, is key to building a healthier and more sustainable environment,' she added. Final preparations for the race are currently underway at Al Hussein Public Parks, including route setup and the provision of all necessary logistics to ensure the comfort and safety of participants, said the statement. Water stations and volunteer teams will also be placed along the route to provide assistance and support, according to the statement. The event will feature two race categories: 5.2km and 2.6km. Participants are expected to gather at 8:00am, with the official start scheduled for 9:00am. Races for participants with disabilities and the visually impaired will begin 10 minutes after the start of each main race, the statement said.

Bromine women's race returns for 4th edition on May 30
Run Jordan on Monday launches preparations for the fourth edition of the Bromine Women's Race, scheduled for May 30, at Al Hussein Public Parks (Petra photo) AMMAN — Run Jordan on Monday launched preparations for the fourth edition of the Bromine Women's Race, scheduled for May 30, at Al Hussein Public Parks. Held under the slogan 'Run for You,' the race is sponsored by Bromine and organised in partnership with the Greater Amman Municipality and several private sector partners, the Jordan News Agency, Petra, reported. Run Jordan stressed its ongoing commitment to creating safe, inclusive spaces for women in sports, spaces that empower participants and foster greater community involvement. The organisation also underscored the value of strategic partnerships in the race's continued success, highlighting its strong collaboration with the Greater Amman Municipality, alongside the vital contributions of sponsors and volunteers. General-Manager of Run Jordan Lina Kurd shared insights from her recent participation in the World Marathons Congress in Vietnam, where she spotlighted the significance of the Bromine Women's Race. She noted that while global female participation in marathons averages around 20 per cent, women account for up to 40 per cent of participants in Run Jordan events, which reflects Jordan's leadership in advancing women's sports. Kurd said that the women-only race is not a response to the absence of women in mixed events, but rather a celebration of their presence and a platform to showcase their role in society. She also stressed that the race aims to promote women's empowerment and enhance both physical and mental well-being. Run Jordan invites women of all ages and backgrounds to join the event, which features two race categories, 2.6 kilometres and 5.2 kilometres, both set to start at 9am.
