UAE race calendar
From a park run in Dubai to a waterfront start in Abu Dhabi or a trail in Ras Al Khaimah. Compare the practical details, then book with the official registration provider.
See upcoming racesStart with how far you can travel on race morning. Dubai and Abu Dhabi offer city and waterfront events; the Northern Emirates add different road and trail settings. Open each guide for the actual venue, parking information and category schedule. A city name alone is not enough to plan your arrival.
An event can combine a short run, a longer distance and a children’s category. The lowest advertised entry price may belong to a different category from yours. Compare the distance, age rules, start time, finish deadline and fees for the option you intend to enter.
Each listing shows when its source was checked. Registration can close or sell out after that check, and schedules can change. Follow the source and registration links in the guide for the latest availability. We leave unconfirmed information visible rather than filling the gaps with guesses.
