Running Events in UAE
Running events in the UAE are spread across the cooler months from October through to early spring, with a smaller selection of indoor and sheltered races keeping things moving through the summer. Venues range from air-conditioned mall circuits in Dubai and Al Ain to open road and seafront courses in Fujairah, Ras Al Khaimah and Abu Dhabi, so there is a reasonable spread of formats and distances to work with regardless of where you are based. This page pulls together independent local races and organised series from across all seven emirates into a single calendar. Use the filters to narrow by city, month or distance and find events that fit your training block.
