Preparations for the eagerly anticipated 5th edition of the ADNOC Abu Dhabi Marathon are firmly underway with the race routes now announced and participant numbers heading towards an all-time high.
For those who are training for the main event on 16th December, the final edition of the Race Series will take place at Al Hudayriat Island on 4th November.
Whatever distance you plan to run in December, the Race Series will give you the chance to step up your training, practice your race skills and perfect your finish-line celebrations. Choose from 1km, 2.5km, 10km or the half marathon distance. But don’t leave it to the last minute. The Race Series has proven very popular and this event is expected to sell out.
