Oman Desert Marathon provides participants with a true experience of living in the desert, this vast expanse of stunning beauty and breathtaking imagination to implement a unique physical, emotional, and spiritual experience of a lifetime.

You can decide if you want to run or hike, both events require each runner to be prepared and self-sufficient in food and personal needs. It is a sport to learn patience and challenge, a sport of excitement and suspense, a sport of adventure and strength. The race and hike both start in front of the historical forts and castle in the village of Al-Wasil in the Wilayat of Bidiyah and end at the Al Jawharat Resort.

The five stages will take the contestants through different miles of attractive charm and aesthetic diversity in the topography and terrain, starting with history and civilization with historical forts and castles, passing through green palm oases and lush shades and then dunes where the stages of the race pass through the dwellings of the nomads who still follow the grazing roads, in the desert of Oman.

The difference between both events is in the kilometers to cover per day, the 165 km race will cover 42 km, 32 km, 40 km, 30 km, and 21 km in five stages, while the 100 km hike will cover approximately 20 km each day during the five stages.

As for the night stage, it has a special magic runners will enjoy the desert its splendor, beauty, and charm, which captivates the hearts to take you little by little to darkness, isolation, calmness, silence, and the fragrance of the winds, with the radiance of millions of twinkling stars that captivate you with their beauty.

Where will I sleep?

keyboard_arrow_down

The Oman Desert Marathon will provide big tents for sleeping, where the runners will find shelter at the end of each stage. The tents are open on one side, so you will not be sleeping in an enclosed space and fresh air can circulate.

Are Sand Gaiters mandatory?

keyboard_arrow_down

Yes, the Oman Desert Marathon is a race where most of the course is on the sand, and the sand you will find is mostly soft. In some races the sand gaiters can be considered optional, this strategy doesn’t work in Oman. Once there was a competitor that “forgot” to take the sand gaiters. After 1 stage of struggle with the sand, he cut the sleeves of his night jacket and used them as socks covering the shoes and blocking most of the sand. He was able to finish the race, but he said that in the future he will never forget the sand gaiters.

What are the stage cut off times?

keyboard_arrow_down

We adapt the cut offs according to the temperature and the average times of the runners on the previous stage. The cut offs are decided before the start of each stage in order to allow the maximum number possible of runners to finish the stage in a reasonable time. Some participants decide to do some stages of hiking, cut off times allows to hike. Nobody was excluded for missing a cut off. You can also check in the program the approximate time we expect the last runner to arrive on each stage.
