Oman Desert Marathon

Experience the thrill of a lifetime by participating in the Oman Desert Marathon, a prestigious event that challenges runners to traverse the stunning landscapes of the Omani desert.

The carefully designed 165km route tells the story of Oman itself. Beginning in the crimson dunes of Bidiya Oasis, you’ll traverse the magnificent Al Wasil area following the same ancient caravan paths that connected civilizations for centuries, before reaching your triumphant finish at the Arabian Sea. Each stage—42km, 32km, 40km, 30km, and 21km—reveals a different face of this extraordinary landscape. More than physical endurance, ODM offers cultural immersion where legendary Omani hospitality transforms every challenge into connection, every mile into memory.

Participating in the Oman Desert Marathon is not just about the physical challenge; it’s an immersive cultural experience. The race route passes through areas inhabited by the Local Bedouins, offering insights into the traditional nomadic lifestyle.
