Event description
Replacing the previous multi-stage race this new single-stage 50km running (totally self-supported) race will take you through rocky mountain terrain and over the spectacular sand dunes of the UAE. There will be plenty of experienced ultra-runners to offer advice and it is a great chance to test out your gear for the coming season of multi-stage races! But don’t be fooled, this is a serious challenge and not for the faint-hearted. It is tough and will test you to your very core.
