Ready, set, go: All the big races taking place across the UAE

It’s time to bust out those running shoes…

They may, or may not be covered in dust, but that’s quite alright because this list of upcoming races in the UAE will give you plenty of opportunities to warm them up again. The temperatures are (thankfully) cooling down, which means it’s time for you to lace up and head outdoors once more.

Get ready, get set and go out there in the great, big outdoors and get active with these races in the UAE
