Dubai running calendar
A short park course, an evening run or a longer road challenge. Find upcoming Dubai running events and the details that make one fit your day better than another.
See upcoming racesCheck your category’s start, bib collection window and any separate check-in deadline. An early wave can mean a much earlier arrival. Use the official venue and parking instructions to plan the journey; do not rely only on the event’s Dubai label.
The course surface, laps and finish deadline can change the experience at the same distance. Open the race guide for published details and unresolved questions. If you have a time goal, confirm the course measurement with the organiser rather than assuming the event name is an exact measurement.
Save two or three events, then use the main calendar to compare them. Look at the total category cost, date, travel and time available on the course. If Dubai’s dates do not work, the UAE calendar includes options in other emirates.

Not always, but category rules differ. Check the minimum age and eligibility for the specific distance before entering. A short distance on its own does not establish who can take part.
Use the UAE calendar for Abu Dhabi and the Northern Emirates, or the Gulf calendar for the wider region. This page shows upcoming running and trail events listed in Dubai.
