SUMMARY:Hiking: HIGHLANDER Adventure\, Ras Al Khaimah\, UAE
DESCRIPTION:HIGHLANDER Adventure is set to take place in Ras Al Khaimah\, UAE\, from 7-9 February 2025. This long-distance hiking challenge will offer hikers and adventure enthusiasts the chance to test themselves on the spectacular Jebel Jais mountain\, home to the UAE’s longest developed network of hiking trails at 80km. \nBuilding on the success of previous years\, the 2025 edition will offer participants unparalleled hiking experiences in three signature formats. HIGHLANDER Pegasus is a 40km three-day backpacking challenge from 7-9 February and is named after the winged horse of Greek mythology and the constellation seen in the northern sky.  \nHIGHLANDER Orion\, is a 25km trek over two days from 8-9 February and takes its name from the prominent set of stars visible during winter in the northern celestial hemisphere. These two challenges provide multi-day hiking in true backpacking style\, requiring participants to carry all essential gear – including camping\, hiking\, and cooking equipment in their backpacks for the entire event. Each night\, hikers will camp under the stars\, utilising the tents they bring along\, fully immersing themselves in the natural wonders of Ras Al Khaimah’s stunning mountain topography. \n \nNew to this upcoming edition is HIGHLANDER Lyra which will cover 20km in a single day. Named after the harmonious Lyre in Greek mythology and one of the smallest constellations\, this new format offers a perfect mix of challenge and enjoyment. Participants will start and finish the challenge in one day on 9 February\, carrying only essential gear for a day hike without the need for camping or cooking equipment\, making it an ideal introduction for those aiming to build confidence\, skills\, and stamina for more extensive hikes. \nAll three challenges will be held under the supervision of the organisers while offering participants the chance to immerse themselves in the HIGHLANDER Adventure tribe and belong to a community of like minded international adventure lovers and outdoor enthusiasts.
