165 km Race or 100 Km?

Oman Desert Marathon provides participants with a true experience of living in the desert, this vast expanse of stunning beauty and breathtaking imagination to implement a unique physical, emotional, and spiritual experience of a lifetime.

You can decide if you want to run or hike, both events require each runner to be prepared and self-sufficient in food and personal needs. It is a sport to learn patience and challenge, a sport of excitement and suspense, a sport of adventure and strength. The race and hike both start in front of the historical forts and castle in the village of Al-Wasil in the Wilayat of Bidiyah and end at the Al Jawharat Resort.

The five stages will take the contestants through different miles of attractive charm and aesthetic diversity in the topography and terrain, starting with history and civilization with historical forts and castles, passing through green palm oases and lush shades and then dunes where the stages of the race pass through the dwellings of the nomads who still follow the grazing roads, in the desert of Oman.
