The RAK Half Marathon is the fastest half marathon in the world. And that, is fact. @runblogrun and @theshoeaddicts will be covering the RAK Half Marathon, which is on February 9, 2017 in Ras Al Khaimah, in the United Arab Emirates.
The fields, in both men’s and women’s elites, are impressive. In the releases, they note BEST EVER, and they are right. The cool weather, the top athletes and the fast course will make this an exciting race!
