Dubai: World’s largest fun run to hit Sheikh Zayed Road on Nov 20

Dubai residents and visitors are gearing up to take over the emirate’s arterial road, the Sheikh Zayed Road, on November 20 for the World’s largest fun run – Dubai Run, one of the key highlights of Dubai Fitness Challenge (DFC).

Runners of all ages and fitness abilities can register and enjoy a once-a-year chance to run along Sheikh Zayed Road. The fourth edition of Dubai Run offers runners two routes: a 10km route and a 5km route.

The 5km route, suitable for runners of all ages and abilities, begins on Sheikh Zayed Road near the Museum of the Future, passes the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Opera and ends near Dubai Mall.

While the 10km route follows Sheikh Zayed Road to the Dubai Canal, then returns towards the Trade Centre before ending on Al Mustaqbal Street near DIFC. This longer route is better suited to more experienced runners.

Participants must register and collect their official numbered bibs from a number of convenient locations.

Bib distribution is open during normal mall opening hours on Thursday 17, Friday 18 and Saturday 19 November.

On the big day

Runners should arrive at the time nominated during the registration process; starting from 4am to ensure everyone reaches on time for the run’s
