I have been to the United Arab Emirates twice in about three weeks. First, I went to the Dubai Marathon in January and was quite impressed. Then, I ventured up north with my brother, Brian and son, Adam and covered the RAK Half Marathon in Ras Al Khaimah. The name of the city means ‘Top of the tent”, as RAK is the most northern of the United Arab Emirates.

Weather in February was amazing, nights were in the 60s and days in the 70-80 range in RAK. The Hilton DoubleTree was on a bay, with wonderful beach, great food, and great places to walk. The RAK half marathon was a fast, nearly flat course run at 6.45 for elite women and 7 am for elite men and the race field of just under 4000 runners.

With seven men under 60 minutes and four women under 66 minutes, this race was spectacular. Watching the citizen runners running personal bests and feeling so proud of their accomplishments always reminds me of how amazing our sport is.

The Shoe Addicts produced this video to remind our readers that RAK should be their February destination for both racing and vacation! The people of RAK welcome you, and the RAK Tourism team and RAK half marathon staff will too!

Do something spectacular! Come and race the RAK Half marathon!

Enjoy the video!
