Here’s everything we know about the event this year.

What is Dubai Run?

Dubai Run began in 2019 with the opportunity to run along the Sheikh Zayed expressway for the first time. Following the popularity of the Dubai Run over the previous two years, tens of thousands of people are anticipated to flock to the city’s massive running track, which will have a 42.195km marathon course as well as a 10km route for recreational and professional runners and a 5km course for children.

The event is in line with HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum’s vision to convert Dubai into the world’s most active metropolis and the larger goal to make Dubai the world’s most fantastic city to live in, work in, and visit.

All participants will receive an official race t/shirt, a finishers medal, and a downloadable finishers certificate.
