🗓️ JANUARY 13 TO 16, 2027 | 📍 ALULA, SAUDI ARABIA
The Ultra Gobi Youth (90km, 3 days) is a parent and child hiking event through the heart of AlUla. Each young participant (aged 12 to 18) walks the full course together with one or two parents or guardians. Three days, 25 to 35 kilometers per day, through changing terrain: open desert, palm oases, rock valleys, and past UNESCO World Heritage sites including the Nabataean tombs of Hegra. Nights are spent at desert camps along the route. This is not a race. It is a shared experience on foot, with an educational program built into the event. Limited to 100 participants.
Registration is only possible via our Chinese website.
Destination
AlUla, northwestern Saudi Arabia. A valley cut between towering sandstone cliffs, home to one of the oldest continuously inhabited oases on the Arabian Peninsula. Over 7,000 years of civilization have left their mark here. The most striking: Hegra, where the Nabataeans carved more than 100 monumental tombs into the rock face. The same people who built Petra in Jordan, only here without the crowds. Beyond the race, there is plenty to explore: a preserved mud brick old town, ancient inscriptions scattered across the landscape, and rock formations unlike anything else on the peninsula.
