If you thought marathons were super boring, you have surely not participated in Bubble Run. Earlier this year, in February, the UAE hosted its first-ever Bubble Run on Dubai’s Bluewaters Island. The event was a huge hit among the people, and this has led to it coming back to the city this January! Yes, Bubble Run is coming to Expo City Dubai, and the early tickets are already out!

After a successful event in February, Bubble Run is coming to Expo City Dubai on January 20, 2024. This time, the marathon will go throughout Expo City and provide two options: an 8-kilometre circuit and a 4-kilometre course featuring several bubble zones.
Depending on whether they are competing in the 4 km or 8 km race, runners will start at 10-minute intervals between 4 and 4.30 pm. Foam bursting from massive cannons will cover run participants from head to toe.
For people who are not familiar with it, in Bubble Run, the participants for the entire run are covered in bubbles from head to toe. In order to give runners and walkers a foam bath as they approach the finish line, the course is set up with foam stations. It’s a fun and safe method to enjoy physical activity because the foam is non-toxic and 100% safe.
No Stress To Finish The Race

There is no pressure to rank in the race or stress about finishing lines because Bubble Run is not a competitive event. Rather, it’s a distinct and engaging experience that invites people to relax and have fun.
In addition, a variety of family-friendly entertainment is in store for runners. After the marathon, one can stay at the after-race village, where there will be kid-friendly activities and a DJ to keep the audience upbeat and cheering. Every competitor will get a medal and a goodie bag filled with goodies.
There are just six days remaining to purchase early bird tickets for the Bubble Run at Expo City Dubai.
Early bird tickets are available online until December 10 and cost Dhs35 for children under 4, Dhs75 for children aged 5 to 17, and Dhs165 for adults travelling the 4 km journey. The cost for the 8-kilometre course is Dhs35 for children under 4, Dhs95 for children 5 to 17, and Dhs185 for adults.

On February 26, 2023, a large number of runners participated in the UAE’s inaugural Bubble Run at Bluewaters Island, giving the phrase “fun run” a new meaning. A foamy 3-kilometre circuit around the island was traversed by runners of all ages in the race’s inaugural UAE edition.
Along the track, enormous cannons were positioned to shoot a torrent of bubbles at the runners as they went by. The competitors were treated to live music at the finish line.
In Dubai, marathons are a frequent occurrence, and the yearly Dubai Run is a highlight of the fitness calendar. Leading the race last year was Dubai’s Crown Prince, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed, with almost 190,000 runners.
