Trail
Our playground goes from Mastourah 3hours North of Jeddah all the way to Al Baha in the South. We explore all the trails from the shore of the Red Sea and going as far as East as Al Oula or Wahbah Crater, or the rivers near Taif 90 minutes drive from Jeddah.

Most of our sessions are in the vicinity of Jeddah: Our training sessions are usually 45 minutes East of the city.
We run on all types of terrain: While we can enjoy a run on the new Jeddah Water Front, on the Corniche, we like to explore the beautiful trails in our region. We also organize many runs in the sand, including the Hejaz Overload race in the magnificent dunes of Mastourah.
Jeddah Marathon
Hejaz Ultra is the proud organizer of the International Jeddah Marathon. For the 3rd consecutive year, we are now organizing a 42.2km race allowing athletes from all around the world to come and compete with our local athletes. You will be able to select between the Full Marathon and the Half Marathon, but we will also be offering a 10km distance if the adrenaline of a fast race is what you prefer!
