Dubai runs again on Sunday, 8th November 2026.
The Plus500 City Half Marathon Dubai returns for its 8th edition, bringing together elite athletes, first-time runners and thousands of people united by a common goal: to discover what they’re capable of.
For eight years, this race has been part of Dubai’s running story.
It has witnessed personal bests, first finish lines, breakthrough moments and the determination that transforms ordinary mornings into extraordinary achievements.
Because running is never just about distance.
It’s about committing to something meaningful. It’s about showing up when nobody is watching.
It’s about taking one step, then another, until what once felt impossible becomes reality.
The Plus500 City Half Marathon Dubai is where those moments happen.
Where the city’s energy meets individual ambition.
Where runners of every level come together to celebrate progress, perseverance and possibility. Where every journey begins with a decision.
To start.
To believe.
To move forward.
