“It is great event! - Course and organization both are wonderful. It might be runner friendly if they could remove very rocky section at very end of the race, where runners legs are exhausted and dark. It may be easily cause accident...”

“Absolutely loved the course. - While the last downhill was challenging, the uphills and views were awesome. I really enjoyed the setting of the event and the easy conversations with both participants and organizers. Nice atmosphere. ”

“I would come back if I can - Good: marking in pink (yellow=color of the sand= bad idea). Smile of crew & volunteers. Route is v. well chosen! Drop bags logistics To improve?:CPs are “light”, only water+electrol.+fruits.No “gels, nuts etc..”(or we missed them everywhere?). 'd be good to have peanut b, bread at CPs. Finish a bit light too: no cola, biscuits, pasta,peanut b. ‘ve not seen the "chocolate". Race pack/giveaways as “slim” as any other Ultra. You must ask to get support at CP2,4,7; other CPs are proactive+helpful. ”

“Challenging trail running in Middle East - The single tracks in Jebel Ybir were amazing and the 52k and its 3000 meters of elevation gain really challenging. The last 10km on the road while going down to the finish line should be changed to continue off road! The 52k does not appear in the ITRA ranking points (every trail race with published results should be there ... to be checked!). Will come back next year!”

“A wonderful race very well organised! - Just wanted to say a big thanks to the organisers and volunteers for putting on a fantastic race, it was an amazing day! Fellow runners were also great! What a wonderful day”

“Tough but amazing - Really well organised and delicious soup and chilli at the finish! This race was out of my comfort zone so I really appreciated how genuinely all the checkpoint crews wanted to help and wanted to get you to the finish. Glorious views, unrelenting climbs, howling winds, what a day! For a slower person running alone for a lot of the day I found the course reassuringly well marked. If we lived less than 4,500 miles away, we'd do it every year!”

“Course was tough and lived up to expectations. - Thanks to all who supported. My first Ultra and the start of many. Looking forward to further events from Urban Ultra.”

“Sets the standard for races in this region - Great experience - sets the standard by which other races should be judged ”

“Go for the 50km next time - Great 50 first km Not so nice 50 last km (road, dirty wadi...)”

“The toughest foot race in the UAE - awesome !! - The Hajar 100 is the toughest foot race in the UAE and that really says it all. It ticks all the boxes where Ultra Trail Running is concerned, both physically and mentally tough in every respect. The event is also very well organized, the Urban Ultra Team to an amazing job of setting up and executing this race which is not easy task being a point to point race. So if you are an endurance junky and want a challenge you wont forget ..sign up !! ”

“A race you will never forget! - If you are someone who loves breathtaking scenery and a race that tests you to the core, this is the event for you. Excellent organization. The course was marked so well, you would never get lost. The race briefing was very clear and on-course support was just superb. Thank you Urban Ultra for bringing to us another fantastic event that we will remember forever. Frankly, can't for the next year's Hajar!”

“Great event. Very hard ! - Aid stations could offer some more....marking in pink not as visible as perhaps yellow dots... a few points could have easily led to taking the wrong turn if it wasn't for other competitors around... Overall great event though.... ”

“A definite MUST DO! - Thank you so much for such super great organisation and overall coolness! The trail was superb. The Check points were all very welcome stops to arrive to, with cheerful and encouraging people. The track was clearly marked, even with my extremely poor orientation skills I did not get lost! The arrival in the dark was awesome, loved that last cross country bit ... Loved it all! A HUGE thank you to all organizers and volunteers. All the time and effort put in is truly thankfully recognized.”

“An extreme test for mind, body and soul - Just awesome. At the time I said never again, but three days on and I'm looking forward to next time.”

“Best Ultra - Very positive event, with excellent organisation and stunning scenarios. It would be better if that much tarmac wasn't there on the course path, although some is unavoidable. The aid stations were placed at strategic locations and well served. I would suggest some salty food along with the fruit and drinks. Drop bags arrived without problem and the resting area on the finish line was good. Transport was fast getting us back to the hotel. To repeat next year.”

“Amazingly challenging and beautiful run! - This ultra is a great experience and challenge. The organisation and marking of the course is amazing with almost a zero chance of getting lost. The scenery is beautiful and course will even test the most seasoned of ultra runners. This race is worth the travel and will appeal to the even the global ultra running community for sure! ”

“A mad, brutal, more than challenging event! - I would have re registered for the 50k from the 100k if it were easier on website, and got a final placing instead of a 'dnf'. However, it's not the end of the world.:)! ”

“Brutally awesome! - A super challenging trail race through amazing scenery. Brilliantly organised, an exceptionally well marked course and lovely check point volunteers. Best running event in the UAE! ”

“Challenging yet rewarding! - Thank you Urban Ultra and all the volunteers for making this such a phenomenal event. Not to mention the fabulous scenery and amazing tough course! Excellent organization, friendly people, enjoyed every bit of it!”

“Brutal but certainly beautiful - This was basically my first trail run ever and i did the 100K. Now I can see why ultra runners gets hooked to these stuff.”

“Amazing experience and amazing organisation - Passionate organizers”

“Absolutely amazing - If you want a great adventure do the Hajar 100 - incredible experience.”

“The friendliest and best marked race ever!! - Loved this race from start to finish. Beautiful scenery and excellent organisation. ”
