Steve Watson of Abu Dhabi Striders, which organised the run, was thrilled with the turn-out.
He said: "It was the most successful run that we have done at Zayed Sports City. It was a magnificent atmosphere with it being a charity race and some people took part wearing pink clothing. When people are running from eight to 60-year olds, it really is a testament to the event.
"The Zayed Sports City run has only been running for three years and year on year it has gone from strength to strength. And with it being the first race of the season, and on a very hot day, the response was magnificent with people of different abilities taking part. It was great to see the community embrace this opportunity in the Middle East."
