Dubai: Back by popular demand, the DXB Snow Run returns for its seventh edition on Sunday 17 May, giving Dubai runners a unique indoor escape as the temperatures begin to rise.
Working alongside the Dubai Sports Council, Ski Dubai invites runners aged 13–70 to a special -4°C event, fostering community spirit, inclusion and wellbeing as part of the UAE Year of the Family.
What is DXB Snow Run?
The DXB Snow Run is an annual event held at Ski Dubai, Mall of the Emirates, offering participants a unique indoor running experience in sub-zero temperatures of -4°C.
Participants get the unique opportunity to escape the Dubai heat while taking on a challenging snowy course.
Runners can choose between two distances: 3km (three loops) or 5km (five loops), and they have the option to race individually or as part of a team of five, competing against other groups.
This mix of solo and team participation adds an exciting competitive element, while the indoor snow environment makes it a truly memorable experience for everyone from casual runners to more serious athletes.
Even in the -4°C environment, participants are sure to warm up during the run. It is best to wear casual sportswear, soft-soled shoes and gloves with a good grip. Participants may also want to bring a change of clothes for after the race.
