URBAN-ULTRA KALBA KICKR

Why not get involved in a challenging technical trail, taking in the best of the Emirates on March 7.

A stunning run – of either 12km, 25km or 40km distances – along jeep track with some cheeky little rope climbs, goat trails and scrambles up through valleys and into the mountains, through wadi beds, and with a real kick you won’t forget.

TIME: From 7am

WADI BIH RUN

The profile of the Wadi Bih has increased rapidly since its inception in 1993, and this year’s 30km, 50km and 72km routes will be as tough as it gets.

The run starts and finishes in Dibba, with the beautiful mountain surroundings of Oman serving as an ideal setting to a gruelling race. It will be an unforgettable experience.
