You can still participate in the Dubai Run, which is scheduled to take over the city this weekend.
Every year, hundreds of runners cross Sheikh Zayed Road and go past some of the most famous sites in the city as part of the Dubai go. It is the last event of the Dubai Fitness Challenge, which promotes an active lifestyle for all residents of the emirate.
This year, on Sunday, November 24, there will be a 5 km and a 10 km course that begin close to the Museum of the Future. The Burj Khalifa, Dubai Opera, and Museum of the Future are just a few of the city's top attractions that runners will see.
Participation is entirely free and appropriate for people of all ages and skill levels.
Sheikh Zayed Road will be briefly blocked throughout the event so that participants can pass some of Dubai's most famous sites.
