Following the success of the first DXB Snow Run, Dubai Sports Council and Majid Al Futtaim are back for the second edition of the event which will take place on the slopes of Ski Dubai at the Mall of the Emirates, in -4C, on September 17.

 

Registration for the 2nd DXB Snow Run is open now, and men and women of all nationalities – Emiratis, expatriates as well as tourists – aged 16 and above can participate. 

 

The organisers have added a second 5km category to the original 3km Run, and those interested can register through the official website of Dubai Sports Council or the PremierOnline website.

 

The inaugural event, organised as part of Dubai Sports Council and Ski Dubai’s ‘DXB Snow Week’, attracted participants from 46 nations, with a big number of them being Emiratis. Buti Al Nuaimi of the UAE topped the timesheet in the men’s category, while Pia Hansske of Germany was fastest among women.

 

Organised in the early weeks of the reopening of Dubai’s sports sector last summer, the 2020 DXB Snow Run took place with an all-encompassing sanitisation and physical distancing plan in place, alongside other precautionary measures.
