The Emirates Villages Run Series (EVRS) is the UAE’s first-ever nationwide running platform, connecting all seven emirates under the Year of Community. With inclusive distances for all ages and abilities, EVRS celebrates wellness, unity, and heritage while creating a pathway to the ADNOC Abu Dhabi Marathon and the Abu Dhabi Masters Games, offering over AED 350,000 in prize money across the series. The journey begins in Qidfa, where the Gulf of Oman meets the Hajar Mountains. Athletes will race through narrow farm lanes lined with palm and fig trees, before opening out onto a newly developed beachfront, blending tradition and modernity in one unforgettable course. Rich in heritage and natural beauty, Qidfa sets the tone for the entire series.
