Full Marathon Walk

‎Can You Push Through 42 KM? Take on this endurance walk along Wadi Hanifah Trail, designed for sustained pacing, mental grit, and long hours on foot.

This is not a casual walk; it is a full-day challenge focused on endurance. While the goal is to complete the marathon distance, this is also a rare opportunity to test your maximum range. You are free to push for the full 42 KM or exit early once you reach your personal limit.

ℹ️ Route Dynamics

• Start & Pace: We start together promptly. After the first few kilometers, 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 well-defined.
• Flexibility: You are not forced to finish. If you reach your limit before the end, you can exit the trail independently via Uber/Taxi at any point.
• Coordination: A tracking app will be used to share Live Locations for better coordination. Details will be shared with confirmed participants.
• Cut-Off: To finish by sunset, we aim for an average moving pace of ~13 min/km or faster.
