With the season coming to an end, don’t miss the chance to enter the final race of the 2XU Compression Run Series.
Taking place on Friday, April 13 at Dubai’s Mushif Park, the run will see you tackle several different surfaces, showcasing the amazing surroundings and facilities of the venue.
Whether you’re someone who regularly exercises or not, the event is open to all abilities with 3, 5 and 10km distances available and split into different age categories. For those who want to push themselves further, then they can sign up for the cross-country half-marathon that will see you run the full 21.1km.
Sanctioned by Dubai Sports Council, the Compression Run Series has gone from strength to strength and organisers Super Sports expect next week’s to be no different.
“Basing the runs out of Mushrif Park will expose runners to scenery and a run course they would never have imagined possible,” said race director Warren van der Merwe. “Mushrif Park has so much to offer with all its internal facilities of male and female swimming pools, equestrian centre, rope course, restaurants and picnic facilities – we want to expose runners to all these as they navigate their way along the tarred, sandy, pebbled, grassed route we have laid out.”
Entry per runner is Dh175 for adults (19 and over) and Dh125 for juniors (18 and under). As part of Super Sports’ vision in getting more people to live a healthier lifestyle, there will be also a discount for family entries for three or more people.
Included in the fee is electronic timing, a 2XU t-shirt, a finishers’ medal, a downloadable certificate and refreshments.
Anamaria Lascurain, 2XU marketing manager, added: “We couldn’t be more excited to host the first ever cross-country half marathon in Dubai for our final 2XU Compression Run of the season.
“We are adding this race to expand the offering of the very popular 2XU Compression half marathon series that already take place in Singapore, Malaysia and Indonesia.”
She added: “Mushrif Park astounds us with its natural beauty and allows us to run on different surfaces including trail and sand. Athletes can experiment the benefits of the 2XU compression to minimise muscle oscillation and micro-tearing.”
