This coming year, RunBlogRun will try and learn what makes this race one of the true jewels of road racing. Located in the United Arab Emirates, Ras Al Khaimah, the RAK Half Marathon is the fastest half marathon in the world.
RunBlogRun and the Shoe Addicts are excited to be covering the race for our readers, from the press conferences prior and post, to Live coverage of the event, to photos capturing many of the iconic images of the race and Ras Al Khaimah.
Stay tuned for more updates!
