As summer heat starts cranking up in the UAE, outdoor running feels like signing up for a sauna session. But fear not, Ski Dubai and the Dubai Sports Council are bringing back the ultimate chill challenge! The sixth edition of the DXB Snow Run is set to take place on Sunday, May 18, 2025, and trust us, it’s going to be an ice-cold thrill.
DXB Snow Run: Run Through A Winter Wonderland
Picture this: you’re dashing through the slopes of Ski Dubai at a freezing -4°C, snow crunching beneath your feet, while the desert outside swelters. Sounds cool, right? The DXB Snow Run is no ordinary race—it’s an exhilarating test of endurance in an indoor winter wonderland.
Open to individuals aged 13 to 70, this event welcomes both solo runners and group participants. So, whether you’re a seasoned athlete, a casual runner, or just in it for the experience, there’s a category for you.
Choose Your Challenge
Runners can pick between two race distances:
- 3 km – Three loops around Ski Dubai
- 5 km – Five loops for those who want an extra challenge
Believe it or not, despite the freezing temperatures, you might break a sweat! So, packing a spare set of clothes is a smart move.
How To Register?
Registrations are open until Thursday, May 15, 2025, but don’t wait too long—spots could sell out early. Entry prices start at AED 94.50, and there are special discounts if you register before April 7, slashing 30% off the cost.
Secure your spot via the official registration link and choose the category that suits you best. Whether you’re running solo or with friends, it’s all about the experience (and maybe a little friendly competition).
Cool Prizes Await!
Every runner who crosses the finish line gets a well-earned medal. But if you bring the heat to the ice, the top three participants in each category will walk away with some exciting prizes.
Since its launch in 2020, the DXB Snow Run has become a highlight on Dubai’s sporting calendar. Last year alone, 600 athletes from 55 nationalities took on the challenge. If you can’t make it this time, keep an eye out, Ski Dubai hosts plenty of fitness-focused events throughout the year.
