About the Dubai Creek Striders Half Marathon

The Dubai Creek Striders Half Marathon showcases the Emirates' stunning contrast of ultramodern architecture and traditional Arabic heritage. Runners trace Dubai Creek's historic waters at dawn, passing traditional dhows before navigating through gleaming skyscrapers that reflect the desert sunrise. December's perfect winter temperatures provide ideal racing conditions amid otherwise extreme desert heat. The flat, fast course alternates between wide boulevards and narrow passages through atmospheric old districts. Internationally diverse spectators create a uniquely cosmopolitan atmosphere in this global crossroads city. The impeccable organization and luxurious amenities reflect Dubai's reputation for extravagance, creating a running experience as ambitious as the city itself.
