From Jebel Ali to Jumeirah, Downtown to Dubai Creek, the track will be thrown open for people to choose from any community and neighbourhood.

“Dubai Run will unite every individual in an unbeatable community atmosphere, championing inclusion for people of all abilities and fitness levels. From the young to the young at heart, first-time runners to seasoned pros, and to those achieving personal goals,” Ahmed Al Khaja, CEO of Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment (DFRE), added.
Fundraising campaign for education
Dubai Run has also partnered with Dubai Cares to support students. Their lives have been disrupted by this year’s challenges. While the event remains free-to-enter, participants are invited to support ‘Education Uninterrupted’. It is a nationwide fundraising campaign. The goal is to tackle the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on the education of children.
The event will be organised in compliance with all the preventative regulations as issued by the Dubai government, including social distancing.
