Event description
Participate in the Jebel Jais Challenge, where you'll ascend to the summit and return to the starting point as many times as possible within an 8-hour window.

The adventure commences at the parking area opposite the Masjid Mosque at Jabal Al Jais Road. Riders will commence their journey at their preferred pace, heading towards the turning point just before the guard boom on the ascent.

Upon reaching this point, riders have the opportunity to replenish themselves with refreshing cold drinks, water, and a quick snack before descending back to the starting point.

Test your limits by scaling this breathtaking mountain multiple times in the span of 8 hours. Each successful lap (50 KM) completed will earn you an Oakley coin, which can be exchanged for Oakley store vouchers. Additionally, special prizes await those individuals who reach the summit the most times.

Please note that only 150 participants will be able to join this exceptional event, so make sure not to miss out on this extraordinary opportunity.

PLEASE NOTE: Roads are open and LIVE to motor-vehicles, riders to be cautious and be safe on the roads.
