Dubai Womens Run

On behalf of the UAE Athletics Federation, welcome to the 5th Annual Dubai Women’s Run !

Through your incredible support of this wonderful Run for Women we have grown tremendously and you have helped make the Dubai Women’s Run the Annual Even that it is today.

The UAE Athletics Federation is proud to organize this world-class event that not only is a platform to highlight some of the UAE’s best distance running talent, but for many women it serves as the entry point to becoming healthy and active individuals.2013 will be another exciting year for the Dubai Women’s Run.

For the second time,
The Run will host both 5K and 10K Women showcasing some of the nation’s most talented and well-known distance runners.

Because of our enormous growth in participants, The Dubai Women’s Run is also thrilled to be unveiling a new venue at Meydan Race Course for 2013. We want to help inspire and motivate new runners and walkers to participate in the activity that is ingrained in so many of our lives.

While we are extremely excited for this year’s event, we can’t help but think of the tragic events that happened at the Boston Marathon this past April. Our hearts are still with the victims, and we continued to be inspired by the stories of heroism and bravery that continue to unfold from that day.

Safety has always been the top priority for the UAE Athletics Federation, and we are grateful to have had the guidance of experts in the field as we planned for this year’s event. Each year, we work closely with the Municipality, RTA, Dubai police, Emergency medical service units and other agencies to establish safety procedures and plan for emergencies of all kinds. While the tragedy in Boston has emphasized the importance of safety and security at running events around the world, we feel confident knowing that this year’s preparation is not something new, but an extension of what we’ve always done to make the event safe for our participants, volunteers and spectators as they celebrate with us.
