Sports Events in the Middle East

The Middle East has a serious endurance racing calendar, concentrated across the cooler months from October through to February, with events running across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Fujairah, Al Ain and Ras Al Khaimah. Road races, mall runs and city centre events sit alongside larger international formats, giving athletes of most distances and disciplines something to target. The region's indoor and sheltered race formats make it genuinely usable even in the hotter months of July, August and September. Use the filters below to sort by city, month, distance or race type and find what fits your training block.
