GO OFF ROAD at the Ras Al Khaimah Trail Run Half Marathon and supporting distances at the base of the Jebel Jais mountain range.
The route will offer runners a challenging experience where a fairly flat open course changes drastically to steep inclines and declines (10k and 21k only) with rocky panoramic plateaus scattered with trees and bush shrubbery.
From social to advanced runners, young or experienced, try the 5 or 10km and if that’s not enough then there’s the 21.1km.
Music, plenty of aid stations and refreshments, and in the afternoon it will be the turn of the mountain bikers on the same course as they navigate their way through the Quarry.
So if you into biking then stay and make a day of it with the Trail Run in the morning and the MTB ride in the afternoon/evening.
