The 19th edition Ras Al Khaimah Half Marathon – scheduled for Saturday, February 14, 2026 – will feature four race routes based exclusively on Al Marjan Island.
With this route, runners will enjoy breath-taking coastal views as they race past landmark destinations, including the up-coming Wynn Al Marjan Island and some of Ras Al Khaimah’s most popular beachfront resorts.
Hosted by the Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority (RAKTDA), the RAK Half Marathon will see thousands of runners converge on Al Marjan Island for races covering 2km, 5km and 10km as well as the marquee 21.1km half marathon itself.
Maps of all four race routes as well as a site map can be viewed and downloaded at the official website rakhalfmarathon.com.
The RAK Half Marathon’s reputation as a course producing personal bests and world records is not lost on the world-class athletes already vying for a place in the starting line-up on February 14.
The final list of the elite runners that will line up on the start-line will be announced soon, while registration remains open for all four race categories also at rakhalfmarathon.com.
