The arterial Sheikh Zayed Road is all set to transform into a jogging track for residents and visitors tomorrow, November 26.
The Dubai Fitness Challenge is nearing its end for this year and its grand finale will bring thousands of residents to the Sheikh Zayed Road for the Dubai Run.
The man behind the iconic run, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, is expected to take part in the run.
He recently posted a video, reminding residents of some key things to keep in mind for a smooth run:
Dubai Metro to start early
Authorities have extended the Dubai Metro timings so that residents can reach the venue without any hassles.
Services will start at 3.30am on Friday. The run’s 5km route starts from the Sharjah-bound side of Sheikh Zayed Road, and participants should reach the Dubai World Trade Centre Metro Station.
The 10km route starts from the Abu Dhabi-bound side of Sheikh Zayed Road, and participants should reach the Emirates Towers Metro Station.
Runners can head back to the closest Metro station after the run.
