Registration opens for Dubai Run

Sheikh Zayed Road is set to transform into a teeming racetrack on Sunday, November 26 for the world’s largest free fun run as part of the Dubai Fitness Challenge.

Registration is now open for the fifth edition of Dubai Run, which is expected to attract more than 200,000 people.

Runners and fitness enthusiasts from all walks of life, irrespective of their age or level of ability, can now secure their spot in this epic citywide celebration of health, fitness and community.

A record number of 193,000 runners, joggers, and walkers participated in Dubai Run last year – and 2023 is set to be even bigger.

Participants will have the choice of two distinct routes, both starting on Sheikh Zayed Road.

Perfect for families and runners of all levels, the 5 km Downtown Family route will kick off near the Museum of the Future, taking participants past Dubai’s iconic landmarks including Dubai Opera, Dubai Mall and Burj Khalifa.

Alternatively, more experienced runners can take on the 10 km Sheikh Zayed Road route, stretching from Sheikh Zayed Road to Dubai Canal before looping back and concluding at Al Mustaqbal Street close to Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC).

Registration can be made for free online.

Once signed up, participants will be invited to collect their bibs and t-shirts from DFC's all-new Run and Ride Central, located at One Central.
