Burj2Burj Half Marathon

Don’t miss your chance to be part of this extraordinary event on 9 February

 

Runners, fitness fanatics, and thrill-seekers!

On 9 February Dubai will host the ultimate race that takes you on a breathtaking journey between two of the city’s most iconic landmarks. Get ready for the Burj2Burj Half Marathon, a 21.1-kilometre adventure like no other.

 

From one icon to another

 

Imagine the starting gun goes off, and you’re running past the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa. The early morning skyline glimmers with promise as you make your way through the heart of Dubai.

Soon, you’ll find yourself coasting along the picturesque Jumeirah Beach Road. The grand finale? A glorious finish at the foot of the Burj Al Arab, with the waves of Sunset Beach cheering you on.

 

What’s waiting at the finish line?

 

The finish line is not just about victory; it’s a full-blown celebration! At the vibrant race village, you’ll find delicious food trucks, live music, games, and even a kids’ zone for your little supporters.

And let’s not forget the post-race massages to ease your hard-working muscles and keep you in top shape for the dance floor!

 

Are you ready to beat the clock?

 

This race isn’t just about participation; it’s a chance to push your limits. With a generous three-hour cut-off time, there’s room for everyone to shine. Plus, the stakes are high with cash prizes for the fastest runners.

The male and female winners will take home a whopping $10,000 each! Not fast enough? No problem; every participant who crosses the finish line will snag a commemorative medal and a goodie bag as a badge of honour.

A race for everyone

 

Whether you’re an elite athlete chasing a sub-60 (or 70 for women!) finish or a casual runner aiming for personal glory, the Burj2Burj Half Marathon is your stage.

Up to 10,000 runners are expected to join this epic event, so don’t wait too long to register. The entry fee is AED 240; a small price for a big adventure!

 

More than just a race

 

The Burj2Burj Half Marathon is about community, sustainability, and leaving a positive impact. In their quest to become fully carbon-neutral by 2028, the event organizers are going all out to reduce their environmental footprint.

Think reusable bottles, eco-friendly partnerships, and a course aligned with Dubai Metro to cut down car travel. So, while you’re chasing personal bests, you’re also contributing to a greener planet.
