Run with nature

The run with nature is to chase freedom—this is evident in trail running, an all-around endurance sport that takes running to a whole new level and opens doors for more unique outdoor experiences. When we talk about getting started in trail running, Egypt is undoubtedly a great place to be, and Ultra Ibex is the starting line to begin the journey.

All About Trail Running

WHY TRAIL RUNNING

Trail running is not just a new variation of running. Trail running highlights the principles of running and hiking while offering the challenges of natural terrain and its uneven surfaces usually found in mountains, forests, and deserts. If you get it right, preferably with the guidance of Wadi Ibex, trail running can be an excellent endurance sport, a form of exercise, a challenging recreational activity—or all three.

WHY EGYPT

While Egypt is a tourist destination known for its ancient treasures and rich history, it should also be recognized as one of the best trail running destinations in the world because of its accessible natural terrains. The country offers various places that can cater to trail running and offer varying levels of challenges for amateur and advanced trail runners. Egypt has some of the best deserts, dirt trails, mountains, hills, parks, and other man-made trails.
