You’ll start in the heart of Dubai, running shoulder to shoulder past some of the most iconic architecture in the world. The skyline leads the way — but it’s the energy on the ground that drives you.

Every kilometer is brought to life by the people of this city: communities cheering, cultures converging, and the spirit of Dubai on full display.

The course is fast and mostly flat, with just enough edge to keep you thinking. As you crest the Canal Bridge, sunrise to your left and sea to your right, take it in — it’s a view earned by every stride.

Then comes the final stretch. A turn toward Sunset Beach. The finish line ahead. And a crowd that carries you over it.
