About the runner

Trail Runner | Mountain Explorer | Endurance Athlete from Oman Driven by a relentless passion for the mountains and the wild spirit of exploration, I have dedicated the past years to mastering the art of trail running across Oman’s rugged terrains. From blistering desert climbs to misty highlands and rocky wadis, I’ve pushed my limits through every kilometer. As an ultra-distance runner, I have completed multiple races of 50 km and beyond, including long self-supported runs through Oman's iconic mountain ranges. My experience includes participation in technical trail races, steep ascents, and extreme conditions that tested both physical and mental endurance. With a strong background in long-distance road running—100 km on flat terrain—and a transition to mastering elevation and trail challenges, I am now committed to taking on the world’s toughest trail races. I bring not only strength and stamina, but the heart of a desert-born runner who finds freedom in every summit and story in every step. Next stop: the peaks of Europe and beyond. I run not just to compete, but to connect—with nature, with people, and with the spirit of the trail.
