AlUla’s trail race returns this January

AlUla will host the AlUla Trail Race 2026 from 22–23 January, offering a fitness challenge amid stunning heritage sites.

The event features six race categories for all ages and abilities, from the 1.6km Kids Run to the grueling 100km Hegra ultra marathon, passing landmarks like Elephant Rock and Hegra, a UNESCO World Heritage site.

All races finish at the Old Town Amphitheatre, with a vibrant Race Village, prizes for top finishers, and official race packs for participants.

The race is part of AlUla Moments 2025/26, a calendar of sports, cultural, and tourism events in the region.

“We are thrilled to welcome athletes back to AlUla for our most ambitious trail race to date,” said Ziad AlSuhaibani, Chief Sports Officer at Royal Commission for AlUla. “By combining world-class endurance challenges with the breathtaking heritage of our region, we are creating an experience that is truly unique on the global sporting calendar.” -TradeArabia News Service
