A collaboration between Dubai Sports Council, ASICS Middle East and 5:30 Run club, the Marathon at Home will take place on April 10 under the umbrella of DSC's 'Be Fit, Be Safe' and #stayhome campaigns, with the aim of keeping members of UAE's community in running shape inside their home.

Running in public areas is also not allowed - the participant will need to physically run on ground, and inside their house.

The top three finishers in the two categories - Men and Women - will get a full running gear kit by ASICS, an entry ticket to the Moscow Marathon, which takes place in the month of September, and a finisher medal. The Top 10, meanwhile, will receive 10 EMS (Electrical Muscle Stimulation) functional training sessions from Vertexfitness.
