Event description

The Hejaz50 was the first Ultra Marathon foot race organized in the Kingdom. It now not only includes the infamous 50km Solo run, the 50km Team relay run( for up to 4 runners), an extreme 50km mountain bike challenge, but also hiking for 14 or 26km!

This is the 4th edition of the Hejaz50 Ultra Marathon, Trek & Mountain Bike race with
4 categories:
- 26 [or 14km] Trek ( Hike)
- 50km Moutain Bike
- 50km Solo Trail Run
- 50km Team Trail Run ( 2, 3 or 4 runners)


Race Format

The Hejaz50 is designed as follow:

* One central BaseCamp (BC)
* FOUR loops labeled South, West, North & East, all starting from BC and ending at BC, with distances ranging from 10 to 14km each.
* Runners and Mountain Bike (MTB) Cyclists will do four loops for a total distance of 50km. (Runners on a relay team will each do 10 to 14km)
* Hikers/Trekkers will do only two of those loops ( South & North ) for a distance of only 14km (+ 12km optional)

Note:

MTB cyclists will ride SOLO (nothing prevents them to ride along with friends).
each of the 4 loops is actually an Out-and-Back.
There will be limited marshaling: In the spirit of Ultrarunning, we will rely on each athlete to follow the course and not take shortcuts.
