This incredible ultra-trail adventure takes you into the wilderness of the United Arab Emirates. A fully supported single-stage race will take you through rocky mountain terrain and over the spectacular sand dunes of the UAE. This is a serious challenge and not for the faint-hearted. It is tough and will test you to your very core. Sand gaiters recommended but not essential.

**New this season, the 50k distance is open to TEAMS! Minimum 2 or maximum 4 runners will run 10k each and switch at the Checkpoint. Your team members will be responsible for getting you to the checkpoint for the changeover of each runner.

You will be allowed a maximum of 10 hours to finish this relatively fast, non-technical 50k ultra distance trail run.
