DXB Snow Run at Ski Dubai returns for seventh edition

Dubai: Back by popular demand, the DXB Snow Run returns for its seventh edition on Sunday 17 May, giving Dubai’s runners a unique indoor escape as temperatures begin to soar.

Working alongside the Dubai Sports Council, Ski Dubai invites runners aged 13–70 to a distinctive -4°C event, fostering community spirit, inclusion, and well-being as part of the UAE Year of Family.

The DXB Snow Run is an annual event held at Ski Dubai, Mall of the Emirates, offering participants a one-of-a-kind indoor running experience in sub-zero temperatures of -4°C.

Participants get the unique opportunity to escape Dubai’s heat while taking on a challenging snowy course.

Runners can choose between two distances: 3km (three loops) or 5km (five loops), and they have the option to compete individually or as part of a team of five, racing against other groups.

This mix of solo and team participation adds an exciting competitive element, while the indoor snow environment makes it a truly memorable experience for everyone, from casual runners to more serious athletes.

Even in the -4°C environment, participants are sure to warm up while running. It’s best to wear regular sportswear, soft-soled shoes, and gloves with a good grip. Participants may also want to bring a change of clothes for after the race.

Registration for the event in open now and can be found here.

The event offers a range of pricing options depending on distance, start group, and participation type.

For individual runners, the 5km early-bird entries cost AED 126 for both males and females aged 13–70, with Group A starting at 6:30 am and Group B at 6:50am.

This pricing structure allows participants to choose their preferred distance, start time, and whether they want to compete individually or as part of a team, making the event accessible and flexible for everyone.
