Shawka Hump Race 3
“The single for the last 6k of the semi is amazing... true trail running testing your technics and stamina ! The scenery is exceptional. A must do for true tail running addict :-)”
“A well organized race. Kudos to the team.”
“Love the race, the last 2km was brutal with all that climbing ”
“very great race, beautiful landscape”
“Great race & event. A feedback points though - the volunteers giving out the race numbers were very disorganised and actually rude - the stations should have been colour coded as per race distance and then able to control their stations better. The chaos was very stressful and added an unwelcomed element to the pre-race nerves. They seemed to think we already knew our race numbers = we did not. Next time please make sure this is corrected = thank youuuu”
“Run was very nice, I haven't received yet the Result & Picture which usually your team send in my email, can you please send the result & picture link in this email id " [email protected]" ”
“Excellent event and we’ll organized”
“it was great as usual, well organized, had a lot of fun. only minor comment is that they should have printed the race name on the medals. other than that, race was perfect”
“Wonder full race in shawka”

“Great experience to run through the mountains with a hike to the finish line. 21.1KM Trail Run was epic and memorable! ”
“Everything were good just road which we race is not clear ”
“Shawka Hump Race is a very well organized event. The runner's guide is very thorough, runner safety is well-considered, routes are well marked, generous prizes, and there are friendly Marshalls at the stations which are well-stocked with plenty of water and treats. Most importantly, the community gets to enjoy the views of a gorgeous mountain no matter which distance they choose to run! I recommend this race to anyone who is fortunate to travel to Dubai, it is a top trail run in UAE. ”
“Great experience, excellent organization, good amount of prizes. Extraordinary community.!!!”
“Well organised and great atmosphere during the race.”
“Great route, organisation, prizes and vibes! ”
“Well organised with clear instructions for everyone and everything that we did, l would urge for next event the Breakfast that we were given to include Juice as well since the coffee shop across the event section was still closed.”
“Toilets and lack of water on the 4km course ”
“Very well organized! I would like to participate again next year. I just suggest you to be more environment friendly, by providing water at a fountain, and having a partnership with RECAPP for the plastic bottles ”
“Great race, very well organized.”
“Need to enhance signage + more marshals on the paths”
“better than I expected, just wished there were food trucks available after the race”
“Amazing organisation! It’s one of the best races of the UAE and the ambience and people are awesome. So much fun and so highly recommend everyone to do it once!”
“Great race and good arrangement ”
“As usual, an awesome event with great route, great vibes an great people! Well done to amazing organizers for making sure everything was perfect? ”
“Well organized. Interesting terrain. Slightly busy with walkers in some parts.”
“Hope they can provide electrolyte water at check point in the near future. ”
“The organization of the event was a it flawed. Not enough marshals on the route to guide you , especially towards the end. At the finish line things were a bit messy. We needed to look for our medals and were given wrong one (50k) at first. One organizer said and all medals were the same until we pointed out the 50k engraving. Definitely not the most informed either. ”
“Provide temporary camping facility as part of the race options Race prizes should be better ”
“Great event, course was fun and challenging and the organisation was excellent. I had a blast!”
“Great route and organisation. Thanks”
“Great experience, will definitely recommend it!”
“Good experience overall, difficult course but happy to have completed it with a 45 minute PB :-)”
“Parking needed to be better organized. we had a smaller sedan and it was not easy to get around all the rocks. We were told it was paved but there were huge dips and rocks in parking area. Would have been nice if they had parking area for smaller cars and another for trucks and off-road vehicles. Other than that the event was wonderful! Staff was great and trail markings were done very well. ”
“Wonderful event, very well organized, not for the faint hearted!”
“The last 5 k were Epic”
