The fifth edition of the Tuwaiq Trail Race takes place on Saturday 29 November 2025 in Dhurma, on the outskirts of Riyadh, threading its way around the iconic Tuwaiq escarpment. Runners can choose from the family-friendly Kids 1 Mile, the flatter AlWadi Trail 10 km between surrounding valleys, the more elevated AlManjour Trail 24 km overlooking the cliffs, or the demanding AlArid Ultra Trail 50 km built for experienced trail athletes. The route combines desert singletrack, rocky sections, sandy wadis, and short technical climbs, rewarding participants with sweeping canyon and escarpment views. With varied distances, strong community support, and a festival-style race village, it’s become a showcase of Saudi Arabia’s growing trail-running scene.
