An expanded Muscat Marathon has stepped into the arena to help satisfy the increasing international appetite for marathon events, and registrations have been snapped up for the 2018 festival of running with over 5,000 participants expected.
Created and run for its first five years by the local Muscat Road Runners organisation, the grassroots event extended its international reach in 2017 with the established event management expertise of Oman Sail and the support of title sponsor Al Mouj Muscat, the renowned waterfront destination.
After record entries in 2017 the global appeal of the Al Mouj Muscat Marathon will be further enhanced in 2018 as the seventh edition becomes an extended two-day festival of running with international appeal.
Held on January 18th and 19th, 2018, the event will feature three new additional running categories with a significant increase of runners. Participation is expected to reach over 5,000, a large increase from 1,290 who took part in the 2017 event.
January offers perfect running conditions with average temperatures between 17°C and 25°C, and a beautiful coastal course along the Muscat shoreline. The international flavour of the event was shown in 2017 when the men’s race was won by Belgian athlete Pierre Breuer and the women’s by Icelandic runner Asta Parker.
