Experience a trail run like no other. This year we offer a flatter, faster trail run route which promises to be fun. The route is mostly over gravel with some soft sand sections, a few technical parts, and small climbs and descents. The 15km route is more challenging as we take you into the foothills of the RAK mountains for some climbing before you return towards the finish on flatter ground. There's also a kiddies 1km race to make sure that the whole family can participate and enjoy being in the beautiful outdoors together. The race village is set in an enclosed camp with accommodation and a pool where the RAK Trail Festival is taking place that weekend. Bring your family and friends along for an adventurous experience away from the hustle and bustle of city life.
