Urban Ultra hosts trail running events at Wadi Showka in Ras Al Khaimah twice a year, attracting hundreds of local trail runners from novices to elites.

Intro To UAE Trail Running: Wadi Showka

The Wadi Racer event consists of three distances: 10km, 20km, and 30km, covering rolling hills with some spectacular views of mountains and my favorite camels. Wadi Showka is the side of UAE which most people don’t understand exists: rural, rocky mountains – yet is only one hour drive from Dubai and Sharjah and a two hour drive from Abu Dhabi. If you are not familiar with Wadi Showka, then the best way to give it a try is to run in the next Urban Ultra event there.

7 Emirates Run

My name is Toni Metcalfe I am a mum of three children and I also have a passion for running. Not just any running but Ultra running. An Ultra run is defined by any distance over a marathon (42.2kms) but is usually much longer and on mountainous terrain. My last race was 100 miles long and across the south of England countryside.​​​​​​​
