The Dubai Run 2025 is officially back—and yes, you can now sign up to be part of it. Happening on Sunday, November 23, the annual event will once again shut down Sheikh Zayed Road to make way for over 275,000 runners, joggers, and walkers. It’s part of the Dubai Fitness Challenge, wrapping up the month-long citywide wellness movement with one huge morning run.
How to Join the Action
Registration is now open at dubairun.com, and you can pick your starting slot between 4am and 7am. There are two routes to choose from: a 5km path perfect for casual joggers or families, and a 10km route for those ready to go the extra mile—literally.
The Route: Landmarks, Views, and Vibes
Runners will kick off near the Museum of the Future, passing Dubai’s most iconic spots like Burj Khalifa, Dubai Opera, and Dubai Mall. The 10km course stretches out to the Dubai Canal before looping back to DIFC, giving you that once-a-year chance to run along Sheikh Zayed Road with zero traffic and a killer city view.
Road Closures and Transport Tips
Expect Sheikh Zayed Road to close in the early hours of November 23 for the run. The RTA hasn’t announced exact timings yet, but last year the closures ran from 12am to 10am. If you’re joining (or just heading out early), take the Dubai Metro—participants can conveniently get off at World Trade Centre Station.
Don’t Miss Out
Slots are still open for both the 5km and 10km runs. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just looking to join the fun, this is your chance to be part of the world’s largest free fun run.
