Event description
The Wadi Bih Run was the brainchild of John Gregory & John Young and this edition marks 28 years since 1993 when a total of 80 hardy souls ran, in relay teams of 5, from RAK, adjacent the Arabian Gulf through the dramatic Wadi Al Biyh before climbing to over 1000m and descending to Dibba via the dramatic narrow gorge - Wadi Khabb Al Shamsi - with the stunning trajectory of the mountains adjacent the Gulf of Oman.
Wadi Bih Run returns back with its Hatta edition on the 19th November, 2021. The previous date of 5th February, 2021 had to be pushed as per the instructions of the authorities due to a significant rise in the number of active COVID-19 cases.
We were deeply saddened and disappointed by this news but respect the decision made by the Ministry and their concern over public health and safety.
This edition of the Hatta run is similar to our previous Hatta run and starts from the Hatta Wadi Hub by Meraas, Hatta, U.A.E.
The run will stay in line with its values of being an escape from the city while still being over rugged terrain and in the mountain, which gives the event a unique flavor.
The overall length of the course is 35Km and is split into 10 stages of different lengths and elevation levels, going through the Hatta border mountain (607m altitude), plantation, and kayak lake.
This event features two different categories -
Solo: Solo 10Km, Solo 20Km, Solo 35Km and Solo 70KM (6:15 AM mass start)
Teams (5 participants): Team 35Km and Team 70Km (6:30 AM onwards)
1. Teams MUST have a 4x4 vehicle due to the nature of course, without it you wouldn't be allowed to participate.
2. Teams MUST comprise of 5 members, with at least 1 female runner in order to eligible for prizes. It is possible to have even only 3 members in a team with no female runner, but you wouldn't be eligible for prizes.
3. Support stations are available only for Solo runners. Teams must be self-sufficient.
4. Race pack bags can be collected from the registration desk at the venue.
5. Camping spaces available, however, participants must bring their own equipment/gear and a 2-meter gap should be left between each tent.
The rapid spread of the COVID-19 has created an unprecedented situation with implications for every aspect of life.
Rest assured that we have taken the necessary precautions and have implemented all the recommended COVID-19 guidelines to ensure the safety of all the participants at the event.

- The course is 35 km with 10 checkpoints and we are looking for volunteers to man the checkpoints. This will entail camping the night before or starting very early as the runners start at 6:15 AM and we need to have the volunteer marshals at the checkpoints at this time until 6:00 PM.
The volunteer marshals will need a four-wheel-drive vehicle.
There is a fantastic atmosphere with the team runners and also the solo runs.
We can offer a 50% discount entry for the solo run category to anyone who can arrange for their family or friends to volunteer and act as a Marshall at a checkpoint.
