This well known route starts in the Fujairah coast and ends on the border of the UAE and Saudi Arabia, during the journey the runner passes across all 7 Emirates. This challenge is becoming popular in the region as it showcases all parts of the beautiful landscape. From running through the busy skyscrapers of Dubai, to tackling the big hills in Fujairah amongst the mountains, the vast changes in scenery make this route special.

This will be the first ever crossing of Bahrain on foot (to my knowledge). This is a cool route travelling from North to South (or in reverse) across the entire country. 

I am doing this over a 2 week period as part of running across 3 different countries (Bahrain, Qatar, UAE).

We have some major sponsors supporting as well as fund raising for charity.

Germany’s Northernmost FKT: Sylt South–North Beach Traverse

Description

This route traverses the entire island of Sylt, Germany’s most famous North Sea island, from the southernmost accessible point of the “Hörnumer Odde“ to the northernmost point of Sylt – which at the same time marks the northernmost point of Germany.

 

The run follows the entire western coastline of Sylt and is completed exclusively on the beach, directly on the sand, without using roads, paved sections, or inland trails. This makes the route unique and significantly more demanding than a standard road or trail run.
