“Bardzo fajny MARATON i rodzinna atmosfera - Ogólna atmosfera i organizacja była extra,tylko z jednym zastrzeżeniem.W czasie dekoracji Pani która wyczytywała do dekoracji, om nie zapomniała (a bylem open 5 i 2 w kat.) i gdybym się nie upomniał, to pewnie wcale by mnie nie wyczytali. Chciałem nieć zdjęcie z całego podium z innymi zawodnikami z danej kat. i z organizatorami !!! a tak po mojej interwencji stałem na podium ale sam, jak był by tylko jeden zawodnik. Po za tym maraton w miłej atmosferze, gorąco polecam.”

“Great event! - I suggest the gun starts were all at least 1 hour earlier...even if it is still winter, i guess, the heat of the sun is already scorching on ur face while u r running.”

“A wonderful event organised by runners for runners - I loved the race - running with so many friends from Muscat and overseas, seeing many familiar faces on the route, being cheered on by all the volunteers, the beautiful venue, the clearly marked route. The race packs were awesome especially the tshirts - thank you for to the committee members who ordered the packs. Thank you to the organisers and the volunteers you hard work was much appreciated by all. For next year - would you consider starting the half marathon at 6:30am? ”

“Senic marathon organized by runners - I did very much enjoy the participation, all marshals and even omani police securing the way where very friendly and cheerfull. I liked as well the finishing area under the palm trees at interconti hotel. The toilet which i used at qurum park during the event was the cleanest public toilet i discovered at 12 years at middle east :). I also liked the spectators, the guy with the guitar at km 37 and many more. Alltogether it was an very pleasant event.”

“Great event!!! - I know is not easy, but for me the hardest part was to make two loops to the same route. After 21 km, running the same place is boring and tiring...”

“The best way to see Muscat! - The route is very beautiful and unique. I just wish I had stopped to take photos of the mosques, beach and Qurum Park. Fantastic having breakfast together when most of the the runners had completed the race. I also like the fact, I was once "ahead" of the first place marathon runner. It's great to be able to see the runners we aspire to. Good work to the Muscat Road Runners for their outstanding organisation!”

“Great race in a lovely country - Muscat Road Runners do a great job of organising this small, but great marathon race. Signage and marshalling were excellent, the only thing missing was a dedicated race photographer!! More information pre-race about what drinks/snacks etc would be available at the water stations would be good. I will be back!”

“Lovely community feel & gorgeous route - Muscat road runners do such a great job on this event. The organisation, atmosphere & course were all brilliant and it's such a nice way to see a little of muscat. I live in dubai so a group of us came for the weekend and even managed a night at the opera. Weve already agreed to do it again in 2016!”

“Great race for runners by runners - Loved the atmosphere. Great start/finish area with chairs to sit afterwards most appreciated. Goodie bag had useful things for runners. Enjoyed the course being able to see friends etc en route. Would definitely do this race again. Only negative was the organisation of the after race breakfast..... (Beyond the control of race organisers??). Two lines for the buffet would have speeded things up instead of such long queues, and more options for vegetarians......but next time I'll bring my own.”

“Great event, not to be missed - This is a small and intimate event, superbly arranged on an attractive course with well supported water stations. The aqualyte at the water stations was much appreciated. Excellent marshalling and crowd support en route, my favourite running venue by far. Hotel could have been a bit more professional about the breakfast - long lines in front of the stage and lack of places to sit.”

“Great event and atmosphere - Race went very smoothly. The presence of the police & marshals plus the blue line all very helpful to keep to the route which I think for anyone not living in Muscat is quite complicated. Only issue with the event was the quality of food on offer by Intercontinental Hotel Catering for breakfast and their atrocious organization for delivering the food. People had to queue for more than 20 minutes for breakfast. A single line with single table for 500 people is just not on. ”

I was very pleased to take part in the run and maybe the first ever Chinese participant! After running, all of my friends in the Chinese Society are interested in the run. I will come back next year with a big group of Chinese runners. =)”

“Nice event with club feel - Excellent organisation - marshaling, water stations, marking of the route. To be improved: interim timing station should be introduced for HM, probably full marathon should start 1 hour earlier.”

“Great coastal views .... Bit quiet with spectators - We had a great weekend I ran whilst the family enjoyed the beautiful scenery. Not my first marathon but the first in Oman. Some of the route had terrific coastal views. The only thing I found difficult towards the end was the quietness.....Could do with some more supporters. The marshals were lovely and very encouraging. I would do it again and I think this will grow to become as big as Dubai.”

“Small event with a nice club feel - Nice nice nice course! But i wouldn't want to do two laps of it! (i only did HM). Great organisation and support stations, especially for such a small race. The HM's already on my race calendar for next year! ”

“My Opinion - Well, coz I know it not the system of the marathon to ignore the 2nd and 3rd pkace of 10 km runners where last year they were called .. this really disappoint us !! plus some organizers were really rude .. specially the lebanese guy holding the ipad for the results ... Anyway thank u for anything else”

“Easily one of my top favourites! - After such a great time last year, I was keen to return to this beautiful city for another chance to participate in this incredibly well run event. Really appreciate the efforts by the event staff to give a personal shout-out to all finishers - means a lot. Congratulations Muscat Road Runners for a hugely successful occasion! - many thanks to you all for the warm welcome and all the little touches that made our trip from Sharjah so special and very well worth it. ”

“Very well organized and impressively conducted - All the participants should invariably be approached through e-mail informing them about the commencement date of the event. The route in the Qurum Park was properly marked and marshaled, however, going out and again entering the park, made it tiring. Is it possible to cover that distance by extending the run in between. ”

“Great club event. Small but very nice - The best: 1. Very supportive and lively marshals. Supported each and every runner with a smile. That was the best thing 2. Distance signages at regular intervals 3. Well supplied water stations. Having Isotonic drinks was great Improvement: 1. Running multiple loops is mentally challenging. If that could be avoided 2. If full marathon could start half an hour early. 3. It seems T-shirt length is by American standard. Its too long. 4. Two breakfast table could have reduced the long queue”

“Friendly, fun event! - Great organization! Marshals and water stations were fabulous--helpful and encouraging, and there was even a saxophone and a guitar! The grounds at the Intercon were spacious and pleasant to relax in both before and after the race. The course was easy to follow, and the run down the Corniche was beautiful. I enjoyed every minute of the event!”

“The friendliest race I have ever done - It was a GREAT race. Well organised, well-marshalled, plenty of water stations. The marshals were really encouraging, and there was a lot of (unexpected) support on the route. The race pack was excellent, and fellow runners on both the marathon and the half engaged and were encouraging- a super-friedly race. Although the course is not the most memorable, the race atmosphere made up for it all in spades. Highly recommended race- so pleased we travelled to do it.”

“Fantastic race! - One of the best organized races I've done. The marshaling, water stations and route signage were perfect! I don't really like mult-lap races but the two laps just flew by because of the amazing scenery and cheery marshals. I was gobsmacked by everything in the goody bag; shirt, buff, water bottle, key ring, and little pendant type thingy. That's what I call value for money!”
