Are you competing in any fitness events in February?

Here’s our top three to get involved in!

URBAN-ULTRA HAJAR 50 & 100

Friday, February 14

Challenge yourself on the beautiful ultra-trail 50km or 100km trail run through the mountain passes, along jeep tracks, through boulder ravines and over spectacular sand dunes of Ras Al Khaimah.

It is a tough challenge and requires training, but generous cut-off times (24hrs overall) allow most physically fit, determined and well-prepared runners to get to the finish.
