Abu Dhabi: Residents in Dhabi have the chance to get free entry to Zayed Chadrity run if they spot two green trucks going around the city to promote the run.
Two branded trucks representing the Zayed Charity Run, started roaming the capital’s streets from Friday, November 15, offering 100 people the chance to enter the annual ‘Run for Kindness’ free of charge.
The bright green trucks travelling around the emirate will promote the 23rd edition of the Zayed Charity Run — taking place at Erth, Abu Dhabi, from 7am on Saturday, November 23. The trucks will showcase large QR codes enabling easy registration for those who spot them.
How to do it
The first 100 people who see the truck, take a photo, and tag the ZCR Instagram account will receive one complimentary registration for the 3km, 5km, or 10km runs.
Regardless of fitness level, this year’s Zayed Charity Run offers something for everyone: a family-friendly 3km route, a 5km course for intermediate runners, and 10km track for advanced runners.
Run fee
All run categories, are priced at just Dh57.75, while People of Determination can participate in a 3km run, wheelchair, or cycling event free of charge.
If you are not one of the lucky 100 to spot the green Zayed Charity Run trucks, then secure your place by registering and join for a memorable day. If you are not planning to take part, organisers invite you to come out and cheer on the runners for this very special annual community celebration.
Zayed Charity Run
Renowned as ‘the kindest run in the world’, the story of the Zayed Charity Run began in 2001.
Established by President His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and created to honour and pay tribute to the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the inaugural 2001 edition saw great numbers turn out to take part and celebrate the charitable spirit of the Founding Father.
New York Edition
The first New York edition of the Zayed Charity Run then took place in 2005, with all proceeds donated to the Specialized Hospital for Kidney Research through the National Kidney Foundation in New York City, and in coordination with the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates in Washington.
Then, in 2014, the generous and giving run arrived in Egypt, where to this day it continues to be organised annually by the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates in Egypt in collaboration with Abu Dhabi Sports Council and the Ministry of Youth and Sports in Egypt.
