We’ll celebrate the 91st Saudi National Day of the Great Kingdom of Saudi Arabia 2021 running on our Hills near Usfan. This family event can be a fun run/walk or a more competitive experience, presenting a mixed terrain of flat sands, ascent gravel roads. If you are from these environs, you know it’s going to be a great experience! Thank you Mazda Saudi and Haji Husein Alireza & Co. Ltd. for supporting this event!
If you are not in Jeddah, worry not! You may still participate in the VIRTUAL Challenge, so keep reading!
We will run for “up to” 91mins91.91secs. That’s about 1h32m32sec+ going up and down hills situated near “Jeddah University” on the Usfan Road and around our Strava Segment called “Usfan Hill Loop Clockwise” (https://www.strava.com/segments/15560268). Note, if your current fitness level is not currently allowing you to run for the entire time, you are still invited to join: you can rest, take breaks and start again at any time. You can walk it, run it, cycle it (MOUNTAIN BIKE) as many – or few – times as you want.

The fastest times on this Saudi National Day loop 2.47km loop are currently owned by a Saudi National Female and a French male national:
Last year, the crowns were on two Saudi Nationals’ heads:
So 91mins91.91secs on that loop means you might do up to 12 of them … We’ll see if we get faster lap time! That could be interesting. Are you ready to challenge yourself?
