Registration for the Dubai Marathon, scheduled for January 7, 2024, is now open on the event's official website.

The Middle East’s first and oldest international marathon will again see races held over 4km, 10km and the classic 42.195 km marathon distance.

The announcement comes just a few weeks after the Dubai Marathon returned to the UAE sporting calendar for the first time since January 2020.

"We thank Dubai Sports Council for their support, and we are now looking forward to working together with the relevant government organisations to stage an event that once again brings elite and amateur runners alike into the heart of the city," said race director Peter Connerton.

The 2024 Dubai Marathon will be staged in conjunction with Dubai Sports Council, and organisers will also work throughout the year with Dubai Police, Dubai RTA and Dubai Municipality to formalise routes for all three races.
