Dubai Metro Hours Extension
The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has announced that the Dubai Metro will now open later than usual in anticipation of Sunday's eagerly anticipated Dubai Run. In order to accommodate all of the competitors and onlookers, the metro will be open for longer hours on Sunday, from 3 a.m. to midnight.
Accessible Metro Stations for Participants
To facilitate easy access to the run, participants in the 5km race can utilize the World Trade Center Metro Station, while those taking part in the 10km race have the Emirates Towers Metro Station as their designated access point. This strategic arrangement aims to enhance the convenience of participants and ensure the smooth flow of the event.

This strategic move is aimed at creating a safe and efficient environment for the multitude of participants expected to partake in the run.
Dubai Run as the Finale of the Dubai Fitness Challenge
The Dubai Run holds a significant place as the grand finale of the month-long Dubai Fitness Challenge.
