Full Marathon Walk

‎Can You Push Through 42 KM? This is a 42 KM endurance walk along Wadi Hanifah Trail — Sports Boulevard, designed for sustained pacing, mental grit, and long hours on foot.

This is not a casual walk. It is a full-day commitment focused on movement and endurance. While we will have short rest stops, the goal is to maintain a steady momentum to complete the marathon distance within the target time.

ℹ️ Route Dynamics

• Start & Pace: We start together promptly. Over 42 KM, the group will naturally spread out. You are welcome to walk at your own pace, find a sub-group, or even walk solo, as the trail is developed and well-defined.
• Coordination: A temporary WhatsApp group will be used to share Live Locations to keep everyone aligned.
• Cut-Off Times: To finish by sunset, we aim for a specific average pace. Participants falling significantly behind must be prepared to exit the trail independently via Uber/Taxi.
