Dubai Run returns to Sheikh Zayed Road in November as part of the Dubai Fitness Challenge.

Dubai Run, one of the key highlights of the Dubai Fitness Challenge, is set to return to Sheikh Zayed Road on Friday 26th November.

Tens of thousands of people are expected to take to the city’s giant running track, with a 5km route designed specifically for families and a 10km route for recreational and professional runners.

With the starting line near the yet-to-open Museum of Future, runners will pass some of Dubai’s signature landmarks including Emirates Towers and Downtown Dubai before crossing the finishing line at Al Mustaqbal Street near the Dubai World Trade Centre.

Runners on the 10km route will also pass by The Dubai Mall, Burj Khalifa and Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Boulevard.

In preparation for the event, warm-up sessions are taking place across the city in October and November.

These include The Dubai Academic City Run, Dubai South Run, CBD Run on The Palm and the Dubai Design District Run as well as a special run for Halloween on October 30 and the Expo 2020 Dubai Run on November 19.

Runners who register for Dubai Run will receive a limited edition Dubai Run t-shirt, made from sustainable fabric. The organisers have informed that only limited numbers are available.

This year’s Dubai Fitness Challenge will offer an action-packed calendar of free fitness events, classes and wellbeing activities at live events across the city.

These include three fitness villages at Kite Beach, Expo 2020 Dubai and Mushrif Park, 14 fitness hubs in communities across Dubai and over 5,000 free fitness classes.

In addition to Dubai Run, Dubai Ride will also return for 2021, giving everyone the chance to get active and see the city from two wheels.

Registration for the highly anticipated event is now open for runners of all ages at www.dubairun.com.
