The Emirates Villages Run Series (EVRS) returns for its second year in 2026, bringing the UAE’s communities together during the Year of Family to celebrate wellness, togetherness, culture, and community through a nationwide running platform with over AED 1,000,000 in prize money across all races.

Al Shiwayb Family Park provides the welcoming start and finish for this community-focused run. From the park, runners set off into the surrounding streets, following a route that offers an authentic glimpse of everyday life within the local community. The simple, accessible course puts the emphasis firmly on participation and togetherness, making it ideal for runners and families to enjoy the atmosphere of the event together. Al Shiwayb captures the community spirit at the heart of the EVRS and provides a fitting setting for a celebration of family, fitness and local identity.
