Organised by Abu Dhabi Sports Council, the Al Ain Half Marathon will take place on November 8, 2025, in the oasis city, offering participants a route that highlights Al Ain’s natural landscapes, heritage areas, and well-known greenery.
The event features a range of race distances — 21km, 10km, 5km, and a 2.5km fun run — to encourage participation from both experienced runners and those joining for recreation. The run focuses on promoting community activity and inclusive participation, supported by families, local residents, and volunteers along the course.
Following the Al Ain event, preparations continue for the Abu Dhabi Marathon on December 13. The capital’s annual race will guide participants through key city landmarks, combining athletic challenge with a community atmosphere.
Free ADNOC Abu Dhabi Marathon training sessions are currently underway across the emirate. Open to all fitness levels, these sessions support participants in building endurance, improving pacing, and connecting with fellow runners ahead of race day.
