About This Race
The 32K strikes an ideal balance for runners seeking a substantial mountain challenge without the full commitment of ultra-distance racing. This distance allows runners to experience the technical terrain and elevation changes of the Hajar Mountains while maintaining a pace that lets them truly absorb the cultural landscape of traditional villages and ancient trail systems. Perfect for experienced trail runners looking to test themselves against Arabian mountain conditions or ultra runners using this as solid preparation for longer UTMB World Series events.
