Wadi Degla has been a protected area for almost 30 years, earning its status as a nature reserve in 1999. Spanning 60 sqm, Wadi Degla Protectorate is one of the Great Cairo area's most important valleys. It passes through the limestone rocks that had remained in the marine environment during the Eocene Epoch in the eastern desert (60 million years). Therefore, it is rich with fossils. The valley has a group of animals including mammals like dear, taital, mountain rabbits, red fox, feather-tailed rat, barbed rat, little-tailed bat, and various birds and insects. 18 species of reptiles have been recorded. The rainwater dropping from the waterfalls affected the limestone rocks throughout the millennia, giving the canyon its distinctive shape, which resembles the Grand Canyon in the United States, albeit on a smaller scale.

One Run offers runners the opportunity to choose from four fantastic distances: 1K, 5K, 10K, & 21K. The race course is almost entirely flat, with natural surfaces alternating between trail, gravel, and hard-packed sand. All four races start and finish right next to the entrance of the Protectorate, where participants will be able to park their cars and leave their belongings. The race courses will be organised in the lower portion of Wadi Degla, with runners running in the middle of the valley, with cliffs as high as 50m on both sides of them.
