  • Life’s a beach: The run is open to all abilities with 1.8k, 3.6k and 7.2k distances on offer.

    With the new sporting season now in full swing, the New Balance Beach Run Series is back for another edition, which promises to be an event not to be missed.

    Taking place on Friday, October 28 from 15:00, hundreds will flock to the Cove Rotana in Ras Al Khaimah and you can join them with registration still open.

    Whether you’re an avid runner, lacing up your shoes for the first time or just looking for a fun activity, it’s open to all abilities with 1.8k, 3.6k and 7.2k distances to choose from.

    Even if you are not competing, the fun factor remains. After participants complete their distances, Festival Village awaits, creating a carnival-like atmosphere with music, entertainment and activities to keep you busy.

    There was no shortage of numbers for the inaugural edition in January as more than 1,200 turned up at Umm Suqeim Beach Park in Dubai. And with it moving to another emirate, organisers Sport360 expect this month’s event, presented by Daman ActiveLife, to be another massive hit.

    “Having held the Beach Run DXB earlier this year which was really successful, we’re pleased to bring this non-competitive fun run to another Emirate,” said Karalynn Thomson, manager – commercial and events at Sport360.
