“ I've run - well staggered - in a lot of events, mostly in Melbourne, but a couple here. Today was my first RAK. Singularly the best organized and run event I've ever participated in. ”

“ RAK Marathon rocks! Well organized! Congrats to all who finished! Congrats Nathan and the rest of RAK team for all your efforts! ”
“ This had been very well organized, thank you! I am disappointed to point out it was a bit of a frustration for the volunteers on the start line, due to people just going in and snatching whatever drinks they can (non-runners I mean). But, nevertheless, it was a very well organized event. Thanks once more! ”
“ It was indeed a blast for our band :) ”
“ Well done Nathan and all the team. You did a great job; the organization was great this year again. ”

“ RAK Marathon: Best running experience of my life!
Thank you Nathan & your team for this extremely well organized event. ”
“ Enjoyed my first half marathon more than I thought I would! Some great volunteers, special mention to the lone marshal at 11kms marker before the forever gradual incline (well it seemed like it) for his enthusiasm to us runners at the back! Nathan, you and your team did a fantastic job, 5***** to you all :-) ”
“ Cheers Nathan for another cracking event, without doubt the only event in the UAE that 'does exactly what it says on the tin'. Cheers for the big shout for me and my chosen charity HELP FOR HEROES as I dragged my carcass across the line with a 16kg backpack. Marathon des Sables next woooo hooooo. ”

“ Thanks for the great achievements and organizing such events never been easy, but you guys do make it look easy. Thanks for the great effort. By the way it was nice to see Sheikh Saud waited to congratulate everyone including us not just Elite runner. This was great from him and it was nice to just have our pictures taking with him. See you chaps next year and I wish you could do more races in RAK. ”
