Zabeel Park in Dubai played host to a magnificent show of lights, music and running on Friday night.

7,000 runners from around the UAE travelled to take part in the Electric Run, which featured a 5km run, a DJ, plenty of face painting, food-and-beverage vendors and lots of happy UAE residents.

Run in conjunction with Daman’s ActiveLife, the fun run aims to highlight the importance of exercise and the benefits of healthy living.
