Posted: 23 February 2026
The 8th edition of the Plus500 City Half Marathon is officially set to take place on 8th November, 2026 returning to the iconic streets of Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) — one of Dubai’s most striking and energetic urban landmarks.
Title Partner Plus500 continues its partnership with Promoseven Sports Marketing, reinforcing its commitment to supporting sport and community initiatives in the region. Over the past seven editions, the event has welcomed thousands of participants and steadily established itself as a key fixture on Dubai’s endurance sports calendar.
DIFC offers a unique race-day atmosphere — a powerful mix of modern architecture, wide boulevards, and city energy that elevates the entire running experience. The upcoming edition will once again deliver a professionally measured Half Marathon course through the heart of the city’s financial district. Runners can expect premium race-day production, official race kits, finisher medals, hydration stations, and full medical support along the route — all designed to ensure a seamless experience from start to finish.
Over the past eight years, the event has grown into more than just a race. It has become a milestone on the city’s running calendar — uniting corporate teams, community runners, elite athletes, and first-timers under one start line.
Registrations will open soon, with further details to be announced shortly.
Save the date — 8th November, 2026 — as the Plus500 City Half Marathon returns to DIFC for another landmark chapter in Dubai’s running story.
