Through the Emirates Villages Run Series (EVRS), the UAE’s communities come together under the Year of Community, celebrating wellness, culture, and unity in a nationwide running platform with over AED 350,000 in prize money across all races. In Al Lisaili, a town famous for camel racing and desert traditions, runners begin on the streets of the village before venturing out to the sand dunes at the edge of town. This exciting mix of terrains — from road to desert — challenges every runner while showcasing Dubai’s golden sands and Emirati sporting heritage.
