A Scenic Race Across Desert, Oasis & Mountains

ALULA WELLNESS FESTIVAL 2025 INTRODUCES THE FIRST-EVER ALULA DUATHLON

AlUla, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, 20 August 2025:

From 24 October to 1 November 2025, AlUla will welcome visitors to its much-anticipated Wellness Festival — an uplifting celebration of movement, mindfulness, and community, set against one of the world’s most breathtaking landscapes.

Returning as part of the AlUla Moments calendar, this year’s edition expands its offering with brand-new mass participation events, giving fitness enthusiasts the chance to run, cycle, and swim across AlUla’s spectacular desert, oasis, and mountain terrain. At the heart of these additions is the debut of the AlUla Duathlon.

Taking place at the Winter Park on Friday the 24th of October, the AlUla Duathlon promises an exhilarating day of multisport racing with Olympic, Sprint, and Kids’ distances — making it a challenge for every level of athlete. Participants will test their endurance with runs and rides through striking desert and oasis backdrops, cheered on by family and friends from a lively race village complete with food stalls, refreshments, and post-race DJ sets.

The Wellness Festival is not only about competition but also about balance — blending high-energy sporting challenges with restorative and reflective practices. Visitors can also look forward to other competitive challenges such as the AlUla Half Marathon, Ashar Valley Triathlon, Cycling Ride with the Pros of Team Jayco AlUla, and the 24-Hour Endurance Race.

For those seeking mindful moments, the AlUla Yoga Program will host an impressive roster of 78 sessions across serene venues including Banyan Tree, Our Habitas AlUla, Shaden Resort, and the Five Senses Sanctuary. At the same time, Les Mills fitness classes will take place at iconic landmarks — from Elephant Rock to the Maraya Rooftop — offering 22 sessions led by elite international instructors.

From sunrise yoga to desert endurance races, the AlUla Wellness Festival 2025 promises something for everyone — a chance to reconnect with nature, community, and self in one of the world’s most unique settings.
