The Hejaz Ultra 50×50 Summer Challenge by UnderArmour rules are very simple:
The winners of the Hejaz Ultra 50×50 Summer Challenge by UnderArmour will be those doing the most days out of 50 days possible, and amongst those, those who cover the most distance in those 50 days x 50 minutes. It is quite possible that no one will manage a streak of 50 continuous days. As of this writing, the race director’s record is only 28 days, and we have not yet a formal confirmation of the attendance of the current Saudi Arabia Record holder, our very own Ahmed Nasser who currently holds the Kingdom record of 100 days, covering 836 km.
We will have Group runs to support you. It will be a mix of Morning runs ( before work) starting 05:00 AM and evening runs. A selection of road and trail locations. You are welcome to do your activity anywhere, in Saudi Arabia or outside! But here’s where we will run:
We will hold the Hejaz ultra 50×50 Summer Challenge Finale on 03 August 2022, with a 50km Walk, Run, or Cycle. The winners will be announced on 04 August 2022.

You do not have to spend money and use the latest technology to join the 50×50 Summer Challenge. What is important is that you get out of the house and exercise! If you want to use an analog stopwatch and run loops around an athletic track, this is perfectly fine.
To qualify for the prize, however, you will have to submit r on this page and submit an auditable link to your outdoors run (such as https://www.mapmyrun.com/workout/5420417917) which would indicate the “Elapsed time” ( and not the “moving time” meaning you should not pause your timer if you stop for a while) and indicate the map. It can be a MapMyRun, PolarBeat, Strava, GarminConnect. Nike app doesn’t seem to be auditable. If in doubt, contact info@hejazultra.org
You can use a Sports Watch or your Smart Phone. Pick a brand for the watch. and select whichever “app” you want for your SmartPhone.
For the prizes, we can not accept Apps that will not allow you to share an auditable link, or which give only a screenshot. But again, you are encouraged to get out and exercise and report your times/distances to us regardless.
We want to thank Under Armour who will be providing prizes for the winners.
