Muscat Marathon
Muscat Marathon is a road marathon (42.195 km) and half marathon (21.1 km) in Muscat, Oman, held in January. January is the mild part of the year in the Gulf, which is why a Muscat race is scheduled in winter.
Typical conditions are around 20 °C with a low chance of rain (about 19%). That is good running weather, but the sun is strong, so run sunscreen and sunglasses into your plan, and expect the later part of a marathon to feel warmer than the start.
