Alright Dubai, time to swap your sunscreen for snow boots because the DXB Snow Run is sliding back into town on 18 May, and trust us—you don’t want to miss this chillingly fun adventure.
Picture this: You, your friends, and hundreds of brave souls dashing through actual snow in the middle of a desert city. Yep, it’s happening inside Ski Dubai where the temperature is a frosty -4°C, which, let’s be real, sounds like paradise when May decides to turn your flip-flops into frying pans. This isn’t just a run—it’s an ice-capade with endorphins.
Hosted in collaboration with Dubai Sports Council, the 6th edition of DXB Snow Run is open to everyone aged 13 to 70. That’s right—whether you’re a teenager chasing glory, a parent chasing kids, or a team-building warrior from HR, there’s space for all in this winter wonderland. Families? Welcome. Office squads? Bring the banter. Solo runners? Time to impress that ski penguin mascot.
You’ve got two frosty routes to choose from:
3km (3 loops) for the “I-got-this” crowd
5km (5 loops) for the “why-am-I-like-this?” overachievers
And here’s the real incentive—everyone who crosses the finish line snags a cool medal (pun totally intended). But wait, there’s more: the top 3 in each category will get their moment of glory on the podium with prizes that are as awesome as your post-run selfies.
Hot Tips for This Cold Run:
- Sign up by 15 May on PremierOnline. Don’t say we didn’t warn you when it’s sold out and you’re left watching on Insta.
- Got a gang? Lock in a Team of 5 and go full Frozen-Avengers mode.
- Oh, and this Eid Al Fitr, they’re dropping up to 30% off. That’s a deal even your inner bargain hunter can’t ignore.
Now, if you’re thinking, “Snow… in May… in Dubai?”—yep, we get it. But that’s what makes this event so epic. The DXB Snow Run started in 2020 (yes, post-lockdown vibes) and has been snowballing in popularity ever since. Last year? 600 runners. 55 nationalities. One big snow party.
So, lace up those sneakers (maybe double socks, just saying), rally your crew, and prep for an unforgettable run that’ll leave you feeling pumped and just a little bit frostbitten—in the best way possible.
