Registration for the most popular free fun run in the world, the Dubai Run, has opened, according to the Dubai Department of the Economy and Tourists and by Dubai Sports Council.
On Sunday, November 26, the final weekend of the annual Dubai Fitness Challenge (DFC 2023), over 200,000 individuals are anticipated to line up for an incredible run along the famous Sheikh Zayed Road and Dubai’s Downtown. This will be the event’s fifth iteration.
Runners and fitness fans from every walk of life can now sign up and reserve their space in this massive metropolitan celebration of wellness, physical activity, and community, regardless of their age or degree of skill. The free run is sponsored by Sun & Sand Sports and presented by Mai Dubai.
Last year, a record 193,000 athletes, joggers, and walkers took part in the Dubai Run, and 2023 is expected to be even greater. There will be two separate routes available to participants, both of which begin on the Sheikh Zayed Road. The 5-km City Family course, which is ideal for families and joggers of all abilities, will begin close to the Museums of the Future and lead participants past some of Dubai’s most recognizable landmarks, including the Dubai Opera, the Dubai Mall, and Burj Khalifa.
The 10-km Sheikh Zayed Road route, which starts at Sheikh Zayed Road and travels to Dubai Canal before turning around and ending at Al Mustaqbal Street at the Dubai International Financial Center (DIFC), is an alternative for more seasoned runners.
