Oman: Female trail runner promotes sport among women
Published 06 Mar,2021 via Muscat Daily - Trail running is no mean feat and covering 50km under nine hours is a rare achievement for a sportswoman in the sultanate. Suad al Nasibi, a student and an adventure enthusiast, completed the 50km trail and won the recently organised Himam Trail Run in Dakhliyah.
The trail began at Bait al Rudaydah in Birkat al Mauz, proceeding to Seeq Village in Jebel Akhdar, and returning to the starting point. Suad won the first place in the women’s category by covering the distance under nine hours.
The inaugural Himam Trail Run, with the local Golden Tulip Hotel as its Gold Sponsor, was an initiative under the umbrella of Nizwa Club. The run aimed to provide a competitive atmosphere for all, where experienced runners attempted personal best timings and podium places.
