Dubai: The 4th edition of the Green Run is scheduled to take place on February 2, 2025, at Dubai Investments Park 1.
The run brings together fitness enthusiasts, families, and organizations, encouraging the spirit of community and building a healthier, more active community.
Last year, over 3,000 runners joined the event, and this year’s registrations are also promising, ahead of the February 18 deadline, reflecting the city's growing enthusiasm for active lifestyles. The run features a 3km fun walk/jog for all abilities, including those using mobility aids, and a competitive 5km timed race with cash prizes for top adult and youth finishers. Dubai Investments will also honour schools and organizations championing sustainability, reinforcing its commitment to a greener future.
