Wadi Bih Run

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.

The 19th Wadi Bih Run will take place on 11 February 2011. More details to follow at the end of 2010.
