Dubai: Back by popular demand, the DXB Snow Run returns for its seventh edition on Sunday 17 May, giving Dubai’s runners a unique indoor escape as temperatures begin to soar.

Working alongside the Dubai Sports Council, Ski Dubai invites runners aged 13–70 to a distinctive -4°C event, fostering community spirit, inclusion, and well-being as part of the UAE Year of Family.

What is DXB Snow Run?

The DXB Snow Run is an annual event held at Ski Dubai, Mall of the Emirates, offering participants a one-of-a-kind indoor running experience in sub-zero temperatures of -4°C.

Participants get the unique opportunity to escape Dubai’s heat while taking on a challenging snowy course.

Runners can choose between two distances: 3km (three loops) or 5km (five loops), and they have the option to compete individually or as part of a team of five, racing against other groups.

This mix of solo and team participation adds an exciting competitive element, while the indoor snow environment makes it a truly memorable experience for everyone, from casual runners to more serious athletes.
