Ski Dubai, in partnership with the Dubai Sports Council, will host the seventh edition of the DXB Snow Run on 17 May, bringing the community together for a unique sub-zero running experience.
Held inside Ski Dubai’s -4°C environment, the event returned following strong participation in 2025, when 700 runners from 70 nationalities took part. This year’s edition continues to build on that momentum, with a focus on inclusion, wellbeing, and community engagement.
Aligned with the UAE’s Year of Family under the theme “Growing in Unity”, the event encourages participation from individuals, families, and groups. Runners aged 13 to 70 can take part, choosing between 3km and 5km distances, or competing as teams of five.
Community-focused format and race categories
Participants can choose between individual and team formats across two race distances. The 3km route consists of three loops, while the 5km race covers five loops within the indoor slope environment.
The team category allows groups of five to compete together, adding a social element to the race experience.
Participation categories:
- Individual (3km): AED 120 (Regular) | AED 110 (Early Bird)
- Individual (5km): AED 150 (Regular) | AED 120 (Early Bird)
- Team of 5: AED 110 per person (Regular) | AED 90 per person (Early Bird)
Registration is open until 14 May via PremierOnline. Early bird discounts of up to 30% are available until 5 April for both individual and team entries.
Inclusive experience with new spectator offering
In addition, organisers have introduced a new Spectator Pass, allowing family and friends to support participants from a dedicated viewing area inside the venue.
Spectators will also receive a complimentary hot beverage, enhancing the event’s atmosphere and making it more accessible for non-participants.
Participation rewards and community engagement
All participants who complete the race will receive a commemorative medal. Meanwhile, the top three finishers in each category will be awarded prizes.
The DXB Snow Run continues to emphasise shared experiences, from cheering on participants to crossing the finish line together.
As a result, the DXB Snow Run Dubai continues to promote active lifestyles while strengthening community connections across Dubai.
