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.

The run is for teams of 5 runners , with each runner completing about 15km to give a total distance of about 75 km. Each team of five must include one female or a veteran male 50+.

The 18th Wadi Bih run is scheduled for Friday, 19 February 2010. Registration will open nearer to the date.
