The Dubai Investments Green Run
The event features a 3km community walk/run and a 5km competitive race designed to promote environmentally sustainable lifestyles. Families, students and running enthusiasts are encouraged to participate and highlight greener everyday practices at home, in workplaces and across the wider community.
Aligned with the UAE’s Year of the Family 2026, the event places families and community engagement at its centre.
A total of Dh22,000 in cash prizes will be awarded, alongside trophies for top finishers in various categories and for the best ‘Green Message’ from families, schools and organisations. All participants will receive T-shirts made from recycled materials.
