AlUla marks the first international destination for Ultra Gobi.
Like many in our community, we have been looking forward to beginning a new expedition here. In light of current regional uncertainties, the Ultra Gobi AlUla Organizing Committee has decided to reschedule the inaugural event, originally planned for January 13–20, 2027, to January 2028. The exact dates will be announced in due course.
Although AlUla remains geographically distanced from regional conflict, the decision reflects the implications to international travel and event planning. Rescheduling gives participants and partners greater clarity and provides longer lead time to prepare.
We recognize that this change will affect participants’ plans and appreciate the trust placed in us by everyone who has registered. Registered participants who choose to withdraw will receive a full refund of their registration fees. Details of the refund process and next steps will be communicated separately.
Our vision of “A Modern Expedition on Ancient Paths” remains unchanged: bringing people from different cultures together through sport and a shared journey of discovery. We will continue working with the Royal Commission for AlUla (RCU) and our partners on preparations for the 2028 edition. We look forward to welcoming participants from around the world to experience AlUla’s distinctive landscapes, rich cultural heritage and warm hospitality.
Further updates on event preparations and related arrangements will be shared through official channels.
We thank our participants, communities, partners and supporters for their understanding and continued support.
