Event overview
The G.O.A.T. Ultra Trail Race takes place 24-25 January 2026 in Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates. The event features multiple trail races across the Hajar mountain range, with routes that pass mountain villages and varied mountain terrain. The 2026 edition introduces a 100-mile distance that the organizer describes as the first of its kind in the UAE and the MENA region. Suggested hotels in Ras Al Khaimah are listed by the organizer. Arrival by Dubai International Airport (DXB) or Sharjah International Airport (SHJ) is noted; participants must arrange transfers to Ras Al Khaimah independently. Shuttle buses will run between official hotels and the race venue for registered runners.
