Here’s your chance to start the weekend on a healthy note by signing up for the first race of the Wellman Road Run.

Taking place on Friday, October 5, hundreds are expected to flock to The Track Golf Clubhouse in Dubai and you can still join them with registration closing on Tuesday.

Whether you’re an experienced or new-time runner, there are different distances to choose from with 3km, 5km and 10km on the schedule.

Previous editions have proven to be hugely popular and this weekend’s is set to be no different.

“We are excited to be hosting another series of the Wellman Road Run which continues to attract big numbers,” said Meher Un Nisa, event director.

“All our previous editions have been a big success and that is because participants can enjoy running on a track that is free of traffic. Given it is the opening race of the series, the response has been positive and with a few days to go, I expect a big number and close to 700 people which turned up last time.”

Speaking of the aim of the event, she added: “There are plenty of positives for those who join as it is our motto to do more sports and be active.

“Secondly, it will be the first kick of the sports season. It’s a great way for people to keep busy and enhance their interest. In today’s busy life we all actually need this opportunity to make our body’s healthy.”

There’s even more reason to join considering the winners of the 10k distance will receive prizes as well as an opportunity to win some fantastic goodies in the raffle draw.
