Held every year since 1993 the Wadi Bih Run is the oldest regular running event in the region.

If you’ve recently moved to Dubai or been living here for a while the Wadi Bih Run is a must do event for any keen runner.

The relay is for teams of 5 runners (1 female mandatory) on asphalt road then gravel track to an altitude of 1000m (36 km) & then returns to the start, a total distance of 72km. 4 runners shall complete the first and last stage and individual runners the other stages. The route is marked by stage markers between 1.5 & 4.2 km distance and the support vehicle transports the other team members along the route.
