Oman Desert Marathon

The Oman Desert Marathon is an extraordinary multi-stage trail running event set in the Empty Quarter (Rub’ al Khali) of Oman, one of the most remote and dramatic desert landscapes on Earth. Instead of a single road race, this marathon spans multiple days, with runners covering challenging courses across sand dunes, desert plains, and vast dunes under the blazing Arabian sun. It draws adventure runners and endurance athletes from around the world who are seeking a raw and unforgettable running experience in one of the planet’s most inhospitable yet stunning environments.
