Environment

Oman Desert Marathon  is a unique adventure in the breathtaking wilderness of the Oman Desert,  from the Alwasil Oasis of Bidiyah and finish on the shore of the Arabian Sea. We are committed to protect the environment and protect wildlife and vegetation. We are working hard on improving our policies to keep the desert untouched. Helps us by being a responsible runner. Carry all your litter to the closest checkpoint for disposal in the bins provided. If there are unique rock formations, do not remove them from their location. If you encounter wildlife of any kind, respect it. Keep your distance. This is their habitat, allow wildlife its space.

 

WATER BOTTLES

We encourage runners to use reusable waters. In the case you use disposable ones, they should not be discarded in the desert. Plastic waste is one of many types of wastes that take too long to decompose. Competitors will incur penalties, and may be asked to leave the race. All, runners and organizers alike, are requested to comply with these environmental rules.
