As Dubai gears up for marathon weekend, adidas teams up with Italian pastificio Sagra to launch Adizero Pasta, a limited-edition ravioli inspired by the Adizero EVO SL and the universal carb-loading ritual runners swear by. Available for one day only on January 31 at the Adizero House of Fast at Kite Beach, registered marathon runners can collect complimentary pasta by presenting their bib or runner ID, turning pre-race fuelling into a shared community moment. The experience extends beyond Kite Beach through an exclusive Careem partnership, making Adizero Pasta available across Dubai for a limited time and inviting runners and residents alike to take part in a city-wide celebration of race-week preparation.
