    One of Great Britain’s favourite runners Dame Kelly Holmes is set to participate in the first Daman’s ActiveLife Electric Run in Meydan, Dubai, on 6 November 2015.

    Dubbed as the ‘World’s Brightest 5K night run’ the event is expected to attract thousands of people for an unforgettable night of excitement.

    Dame Kelly, an Olympic champion, has just signed up to do her first ever Electric Run which will see her take to the starting line in Meydan with thousands of participants on 6 November.

    “I am looking forward to it! Any run at night time is quite exciting – it puts you in a mind-set of going out and doing something enjoyable. What I like about it is the combination of music, neon lights and adventurous course lands which makes the event so appealing,” said Holmes.

    “I’m a big kid at these places; I throw myself in and just enjoy it and encourage everyone else to.”
