38 hours, no sleep: First Emirati finishes 174km race across three countries

Emirati runner Ahmad Al Janahi completed the 174km UTMB World Series Finals in Chamonix after 37 hours and 50 minutes, overcoming physical exhaustion, stomach pain, and mental challenges. The race included 14 checkpoints with strict time limits, and Al Janahi prepared extensively for two years, participating in three major international races prior to selection. Despite delays caused by a thunderstorm, he maintained determination, drawing strength from his coach, fellow runners, and a deep sense of national pride. He trained rigorously, including overnight runs in the UAE’s mountainous regions, and adapted to extreme weather conditions during the race. His accomplishment was celebrated by Sheikh Omar Bin Saqr Alqasimi, who traveled to honor his success.
