Oman’s legendary hospitality and spectacular natural beauty will again take centre stage when Haute Route Oman returns from March 6-8, 2020. 

Oman’s magnificent Al Hajar mountain range will offer riders some of the most challenging climbs in the cycling world– notably the daunting ascent of the iconic Jebel Akhdar, which tested and delighted those who took part in the first ever event early this year. 

The three-day challenge will be 260km with 5,500m+ of climbing and the highlights of Stages 1 and 2 will be the formidable twin peaks of Jebel Akhdar and Jebel Hatt, that rival iconic climbs such as Mont Ventoux, Alpe d’Huez and Passo dello Stelvio.

Speaking about the event, Richard Chapman, founding member of the London-based Black Widow Cycling Club said, “The members of the Black Widows Cycling Club have been taking part in Haute Route events since the very beginning, and the inaugural Haute Route Oman earlier this year was a complete revelation. Oman is a beautiful country, the people are friendly and welcoming, and the cycling is fantastic with awesome climbs and amazing views – we will be back again in 2020.”

With new destinations and iconic returning events on the programme, there will be plenty of options to choose from in 2020. Find out about the exciting 2020 Haute Route calendar on August 26th. Stay tuned!
