Events will occur daily at famous sites like Elephant Rock, Hegra, the Old Town Amphitheatre, Harrat Viewpoint, Heart of the Oasis, and Maraya.

The AlUla Half Marathon is scheduled for October 25. It will offer five race categories suitable for different age groups and fitness levels. Additionally, the Mughayra Heritage Sports Village will host the AlUla 24-Hour Endurance Race from October 31 to November 1. Participants can compete individually or in teams to complete as many laps as possible within a day.

A triathlon event is set to take place in Ashar Valley on November 1. The AlUla Duathlon will also begin at Winter Park at the start of the festival. These events further establish AlUla as a centre for sports and adventure activities.

Visitors can enjoy cultural and heritage-themed events, including unique culinary sessions in historic locations like Jabal Ikmah. This open-air museum narrates ancient civilizations' stories through its inscriptions, offering an enriching experience.

Later in October, a special cycling camp will be organized. Participants can explore AlUla’s rugged terrain through guided tours and attend workshops focused on riding techniques and training.
