The first edition of this marathon took place in 2007 and it was a highly successful event. The organizers advertise this marathon as ‘the highest accredited road race in the Middle East’ and in 2009, the RAK Half Marathon was awarded an International Association of Athletic Federations (IAAF) Silver Label making it the only race in the region to be recognized by this IAAF classification system. This annual event takes place in February.

The RAK Hash is a social (!) running club, which is a part of the international Hash House Harriers (HHH). Meetings take place every Sundays at various locations. The idea is to follow a trail laid earlier by one of the members and then socialize. Hash events are open to all and registration is not required. However, there is a charge each week of 10-30dhs for administration expenses and drinks.

Wadi Bih Run

This relay has started in 1993; its organizers claim that it is the oldest event organized by the expatriate community in the Emirates. The route typically starts in Ras Al Khaimah and finishes in Dibba, crossing the spectacular Hajar Mountains. Teams of 5 members take part in the race, and each member needs to run 15 km, which adds up to a total running distance of 75km. Usually, this run takes place in the cooler months of January or February. In 2010, due to the border closure this run starts and finishes in Dibba.
