Dubai 9th February 2016: Explorers and adventurers, mark April 1st in your diary as it’s time to grab your running shoes again for the return of The North Face Rock Run. Now in its second year, the event promises to be even bigger and better than last year.
The annual Rock Run will be one of the biggest trail runs in the Middle East with 1,000 places open to runners. This timed race gives runners the opportunity to beat their personal best. The trail experience includes breathtaking surroundings of Ras Al Khaimah’s rugged terrain and is the perfect picturesque backdrop for runners and spectators alike.
The Trail Race will begin at 4:00pm where participants will experience the stunning landscape just as the sun sets on the horizon. There will be three distances to compete in – 5km, 10km and 21km – each one catering from beginners to experienced trail runners.
Runners and spectators can expect a whole host of treats on the day of the race too. As the stunning sunset drops, the area will come alive with music and more entertainment that will both line the track and be available in the festival zone.
