United Arab Emirates Events and Festivals

2/01/2010 - 2/28/2010RAK International Half Marathon

Head to the United Arab Emirates for 'The Richest Half Marathon In The World'. The race attracts some of the globe's best runners, who will all be competing for the glory of the title as well as the US$180 000 prize money. But if you're not likely to be competing for the top spot, use the event as an opportunity to raise money for charity and race in the beautiful Hajjar Mountains. And for those who can't quite manage the full 21.1km (13 miles), there's always the Team Relay Challenge, where four members run approximately 5km (3 miles) each.
