Details of the 2017 event have been kept under wraps but will be revealed over the coming months.

Nike+ members will have the option of being the first to be in-the-know by signing up for Notify Me, an automatic alert that will be shared with members as soon as details are released.

Scheduling the race early next year allows the city’s newest crop of tracksters a few extra months to train and beat their personal best before they hit the starting line with power and confidence.

Running enthusiasts can continue to be part of the Nike running community via the Nike+ Run Club (NRC), which holds free running sessions in locations throughout Dubai and Abu Dhabi. For more information, visit gonike.me/NRCdubai or gonike.me/NRCabudhabi.
