The 18th Wadi Bih run will be held on Friday, 12 February 2010 and entries have closed. Details of teams and solo runners registered can be viewed on the registration page. If team captains are still looking for runners then please check the Looking for a Team link on the registration page.
Held every year since 1993 the Wadi Bih Run is the oldest
regular expatriate sporting event in the UAE .
The route for the relay run varies depending on the road condition & situation at the UAE - Oman border post. In the past the run has gone from Ras Al
Khaimah ( RAK ) to Dibba on Asphalt roads and graded gravel tracks through the
spectacular Hajar mountains and is an uplifting ( literally about 900m
of ascent & descent ! ) therapeutic experience to escape the urban mayhem of the
modern UAE. Currently because of border restrictions the run will start and finish in Dibba, Sultanate of Oman.
The run is for teams of 5 runners , with each runner completing about 15km to give a total distance of about 72 km. Each team of five must include one female or a veteran male 50+. Hardy individuals can run the entire distance alone.
