The 2017 Dubai Marathon was a well attended affair. Tamirat Tola broke the course record while Kenenisa Bekele dropped out after falling at the starting line. Meanwhile, debutant Worknesh Degefa won the women’s race.
However, there were several runners who took part as well which made for a grand occasion.
Here, we round up some of the best Instagram and Facebook posts from the event.
