Oman by UTMB SKYWARD CANYON (Oman) 2026
Also known as: Himam Trail Run
A point-to-point route over the Hajar range to Birkat Al Mouz. A steep opening climb leads to running above 2,000 m, then rocky, exposed canyon terrain and terraced village paths before a long descent to the finish.
The course tops out at 2,079 m (low point 575 m). The main climb comes right from the start: 1,470 m around 0–14 km. About 50% of the distance is gentle (under 5% grade). In 2024, 84% of starters finished. The median finish was about 11 h.

Enter your ITRA performance index to get an estimated finish time, aid-station splits and cutoff margins. This race has no finisher ITRA data, so it uses the transfer model: your predictions for the 205 races that do have finisher data, scaled by distance and elevation gain (km-effort) — the same calculation as the TRAIL STATUS app. Nothing is saved or sent.
The app adds predictions from your training log (Strava), race-day pacing and more. Free, no sign-up.
