Lace up: Dubai Women's Run returns this November

Who run the world…

Girls! Quite literally this time, as the Dubai Women’s Run is gearing up to return for a tenth edition.

Taking place on Thursday, November 5, 2023, this run is the largest female sports event championing girl power and all things related. It is slated to take place at Dubai Festival City Mall and features the theme of sustainability (love that for us and the planet). Like always, the run is all about empowering women through a focus on their health and well-being.

The event is being organised by Plan B Group, in collaboration with the UAE Athletic Federation and the Dubai Sports Council. It will also be supported by the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment. Split into three sections, the run will feature distances of 3km, 5km, and 10km per section.

You get a cash prize, you get a cash prize!

In great news for all the lovely ladies planning to participate, there are cash prizes galore for the winners.

The first three winners of the 5km category will take home cash prizes amounting up to Dhs3,000. First place bags the big bucks, second place wins Dhs2,000 and third place takes Dhs1,000. For 10km runners, the first prize will be Dhs5,000, the second place winner gets Dhs3,000 and the third place winner will walk home with Dhs2,000.

Dubai Women’s Run is all about celebrating women from all walks of life, highlighting how multicultural the city of Dubai is, and giving a platform to strong, trailblazing women in the region to make their presence known. Over the past 10 years, the race has attracted local, international and regional participants.
