It’s go-time. Runners from across the Emirates gathered this morning for the annual Dubai Run, which began on Sheikh Zayed Road at 6.30am.
The annual run is a flagship event of Dubai Fitness Challenge and turns Sheikh Zayed Road into the world’s largest running track.
Before the run began, the event kicked off with a show of pyrotechnics.
Dubai Police, meanwhile, reiterated that Sheikh Zayed Road will be closed for the duration of the run and that people should look for alternative routes if they need to travel during this period.
