Please don’t forget … you must bring your own cups/bowl/fork if you want to consume the food and drinks we provide at checkpoints and race finish. You can buy them from the supermarket or bring them from home and leave in your bag or car! We aim to be a ‘No Waste Race’
Bananas, oranges, water, Aqualyte, nuts and dates available approx every 10km. We will provide hot water for your own dehydrated food and we will have hot soup on the go for finishers of the 60k ultra. Commencing in 2019, no disposable plates or cutlery will be provided. As part of your mandatory kit you must pack a bowl and spoon in your car/bag(s).
A trail run along jeep tracks, goat trails, through boulder ravines and over spectacular mountain passes of the UAE with and elevation profile of approx 1000m in total! It is a tough challenge and requires training, but a generous cut-off time of 11 hrs to finish allows most physically fit, determined and well-prepared runners to get to the finish. There are no hotels close by, so your choice is to camp with us the night before, or drive up early morning, or book the hotel, your choice.
The start and finish are at the same point, so you can leave your vehicle safely here for your return home.
