And similarly, on the occasion of Dubai Run, the most anticipated running event, some vehicle owners might face inconvenience. The usual traffic of Sheikh Zayed Road is to be replaced by runners from all over the Emirates. So take a detour if your daily commute involves this road.

Sheikh Zayed Road To Be Full Of Running Enthusiasts

The prestigious Dubai Run is being held this weekend. Therefore the mentioned lane would be closed for the event. On Sunday, November 20, in the early hours of dawn, professional, novice, and first-time participants prepare to sprint down Dubai’s major highway.  Dubai RTA finalised the timeframe of the lane shutdown, and it’s probable that they will do it at least twenty – four hours prior to the event, Dubai Run.

How To Participate In Dubai Run?

Dubai Run is an annual chance to race across Sheikh Zayed Road. Anyone can participate in this event for free.

The longer track is around 10km. The route follows Sheikh Zayed Road to the Dubai Canal, then turns back toward Trade Center and concludes on Al Mustaqbal Street next to DIFC. But the shorter 5km route starts on Sheikh Zayed Road near the Museum of the Future, passes the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Opera finally concludes at the Dubai Mall. So you can choose whatever track you want from these two options. And if you travel from these tracks daily then you better plan a different route to avoid the heavy traffic.
