The Run as One – Abu Dhabi 2 is a fun and inspiring community challenge where every participant contributes towards a series of shared distance milestones. Over two hours, runners complete as many 1.5km laps as they choose, with every lap adding to the community total.
Together, you'll celebrate reaching a series of iconic milestones inspired by the UAE and beyond: 600km – A Run to All 7 Emirates, 800km – A Run Across the Rub' al Khali (The Empty Quarter), 1,000km – A Run Along the UAE Coastline, 1,934km – The Height of Jebel Jais Above Sea Level (in metres), 2,500km – A Run from Abu Dhabi to Makkah, and the ultimate challenge of 3,000km – A Run from Abu Dhabi to Europe (Istanbul).
Every lap counts, regardless of pace or ability, proving that when a community runs together, extraordinary things happen. While the focus is on achieving these collective milestones, there will also be recognition for the individuals who cover the greatest distance. Whether you complete one lap or one hundred, you'll be helping the community reach the next milestone—because together, we Run as One.
This is not a timed race—it's a community challenge to achieve the greatest possible distance in two hours.
