Now more than halfway through the Ultimate Racenight League, only three meets remain for athletes to collect points towards their final tally.
Returning to action in the fifth Racenight at Dubai Sports City are record-holders Musa Khalfan and Harriet Stewart, both having set the pace in the men’s and women’s seniors 100 metres, respectively.
Khalfan produced a stunning time of 10.60 seconds in the second meet, his only appearance in the league, while Stewart’s showing of 12.71s, also in Racenight two, leads all women.
Kashif Taiyebi claimed the 100m in the past two meets, but will be challenged for his third-straight triumph with Khalfan.
In the men’s seniors 800m, newcomer Tom Bork from Germany will set his sights on current record-holder Noaman Elassaoui, who delivered a time of 1:52.5 in Racenight three.
Emily Sinclair, holder of all the sprint records for girls Under-13s (80m, 150m, 300m), returns after a school trip kept her from competing in the previous meet. Her lead on the league, however, is down to just two points with Aba Agbemabiese making up ground.
Yannick Kraus, meanwhile, is running away with the league in boys U-9s, leading by almost double points on the strength of his all-round success in the 80m, 150m, shot put and high jump.
Registration is still open and can be done through www.ultimateathleticsuae.com.
Junior events will run from 17:00 to 18:30, followed by the seniors from 19:00 to 20:30.
