Details zu diesem Trip
Starting in Muscat, this 11-day adventure combines the challenge of a mountain ultra with an unforgettable 4x4 expedition through Oman’s spectacular landscapes. The journey begins with the Skyward Canyon 50K, part of Oman by UTMB®, taking runners through the rugged Hajar Mountains. The race covers 50 km with around 2,400 m of elevation gain, including steep climbs, rocky trails, high-mountain sections and technical descents. This is a demanding mountain race and is best suited to experienced trail runners who are comfortable with long-distance and significant elevation gain. After the race, we leave the starting line behind and begin our road-trip adventure. Together, we'll explore Oman by 4x4, travelling through dramatic mountain landscapes, remote wadis, deserts, canyons and hidden corners of the country. Expect challenging hikes, scenic drives, refreshing swims, nights beneath the stars and plenty of opportunities to experience Oman away from the usual tourist routes. The exact route may adapt to weather, road and local conditions, allowing us to keep the adventure flexible while making the most of the landscapes along the way. The focus is on exploration, nature and shared experiences rather than following a rigid tourist itinerary. ⚠️ Please note: This is an active and physically demanding adventure. The trip includes the 50 km Skyward Canyon mountain race, with approximately 2,400 m of elevation gain, as well as hiking, off-road driving and outdoor activities. Participants joining the race should have appropriate trail-running experience and be physically prepared for long-distance mountain terrain. The official race also requires specific mandatory equipment, including a running pack, water, trail-running shoes and safety equipment.

Hi I’m Laurits, 24, from Düsseldorf, Germany. I’m passionate about traveling, sports, and pretty much anything that takes me a little outside my comfort zone. I love experiencing countries beyond the typical tourist route. That’s exactly what this trip is about. We’ll start with a real challenge – the 50 km Ultra Trail through the mountains of Oman – and afterwards hit the road with our 4x4s to explore the country. Mountains, deserts, wadis, canyons and hopefully a few adventures none of us can plan beforehand. I first traveled to Oman two years ago and was completely blown away by the country – its landscapes, its people and the feeling of adventure around every corner. Ever since, I’ve wanted to come back and share some of the beauty and experiences I was lucky enough to discover there. This time, I want to take it one step further: combining an unforgettable challenge for body and mind with a road trip packed with adventure, freedom and exploration. I'm looking for adventurous, respectful and open-minded TripMates who enjoy being active, exploring new places and sharing the experience with others.

Throughout the trip, we'll stay in shared twin rooms in carefully selected apartments, local stays and other comfortable accommodations. The focus is on authentic, practical places with character rather than luxury hotels. One night will be completely different: we'll leave the accommodation behind and camp under the stars in the Omani desert, surrounded by sand, silence and the incredible night sky. Accommodation arrangements will be shared with the group in advance, and participants should be comfortable sharing a twin room. The adventure can be enjoyed as a full experience, from the 50K mountain challenge to the 4x4 expedition and everything in between. Those who prefer to focus on the road-trip portion rather than the 50K are welcome to reach out to me before booking, so we can make sure the itinerary is the right fit for you. 🏃‍♂️🏜️✨Have questions about the itinerary, fitness level, accommodation, 4x4 arrangements, or anything else? Feel free to get in touch — I’ll be happy to share more details and help you prepare for the adventure.
