Dubai Run returns on 23 November 2025, transforming Sheikh Zayed Road into a massive running track for the seventh year. As part of the Dubai Fitness Challenge, it welcomes everyone, from serious runners to families, with two routes to choose from: a fast-paced 10km finishing in DIFC, and a relaxed 5km that winds toward Dubai Mall and the Burj Khalifa. Registration is done online, and participants can pick up their bibs and shirts from Zabeel Park’s Fitness Village before race day.

On the morning of the run, the city’s most iconic landmarks line the route as thousands take over the roads in one of Dubai’s biggest community fitness events. With music, volunteers, hydration points, and dedicated support for People of Determination, the event has become a feel-good tradition that brings the whole city together.
