| Wadi Bih Run The 20th Wadi Bih run will be held on 10 February 2012. 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 shall comprise of at least one female. Hardy individuals can run the entire distance alone. Entry is via the premier marathons website
