The RAK Trail run features three distances for athletes to enter. A 5km, 10km and 15km.
The 10km and 15km routes follow the same route as the 5km before diverting onto their own routes. The first 5km features fast, flat sections along clear tracks in the beginning and towards the finish. The route has some technical, but easy running through a dry wadi leading the U-turn where all distances head back along a different route. Just before runners reach the finish the 10km and 15km route sets off on a second loop that follows dirt offroad and single tracks. The routes are flat giving runners the opportunity to make up good times. The 15km features a third loop before heading to the finish. The race unfolds at the foothills of the majestic Hajar Mountains near Wadi Naqab in a unique natural environment. The routes are suitable for all levels of fitness and running abilities.
