The arterial Sheikh Zayed Road is all set to transform into a jogging track for residents and visitors tomorrow, November 26.
The Dubai Fitness Challenge is nearing its end for this year and its grand finale will bring thousands of residents to the Sheikh Zayed Road for the Dubai Run.
The man behind the iconic run, Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, is expected to take part in the run.
He recently posted a video, reminding residents of some key things to keep in mind for a smooth run:
