Recognized as the oldest international road race in the Middle East, the Dubai Marathon has gone from local run to global phenomenon over the past two and a half decades. And this year? It’s not just about breaking personal records — it's about honoring a legacy that includes legends like Haile Gebrselassie, who stunned the world in 2008 by clocking the second-fastest marathon time in history at the time.

Backed once again by the Dubai Sports Council, the 2026 edition is expected to welcome participants from 140+ countries, turning the emirate into a global hub for elite competition and community vibes. Known for its fast and flat course, the event continues to attract Olympic champs and rising stars alike — like Tamirat Tola, Ruth Chepngetich, and most recently, Ethiopian champs Boti Gelemeshu and Berdado Hirpa, who lit up the 2024 race with epic finishes.

And don’t worry — it’s not just for pros. Whether you’re going all-in for the 42.195 km marathon, taking on the 10K, or vibing your way through the 4K fun run, there’s a race for every pace.

Expect big things this year: special anniversary events, international fanfare, and maybe a few surprises along the route. The Dubai Marathon isn’t just a race — it’s a whole mood.
