15- What type of running shoes are recommended for the race?

For AlUla Trail Race, it is highly advisable to equip yourself with specialized trail shoes when tackling distances exceeding 10 kilometers. Road running footwear falls short in providing the necessary support and traction across the diverse range of trail terrains you'll encounter in the longer distances. These trails are replete with gravel, rugged rocks, twisting roots, soft sand. If you're opting for the 10KM race, standard running shoes will suffice in dry conditions, but for the more challenging long-distance races, investing in proper trail shoes is strongly recommended to ensure both your comfort and safety.
