Festival Plaza Summer Running Series

Beat the heat in Dubai with The Summer Running Series, as it returns to Festival Plaza in Jebel Ali for three fun indoor running events, organised by the Dubai Sports Council.

Festival Plaza, part of Al-Futtaim Malls, in partnership with the Dubai Sports Council and Return to Racing is bringing its much-loved Summer Running Series back for a second year running.

Taking place on Friday 18th June, Friday 16th July, and Friday 20th August, runners of ages 5 and above will be able to participate in a 2.5km and a 5km indoor Summer run.

The races will start at 7am, with participants setting off an intervals, in batches of two or three so they are socially distanced. Those who love to run but require a steady stream of hydration will find water bottles and supplements off course on. The course will also have marshals placed at sharper turns to ensure personal safety.

Once you cross over the finish line, you'll be treated to a complimentary hearty breakfast from IKEA, and you can avail exclusive offers throughout the venue's shopping outlets.

Whether one is a professional triathlete, amateur runner or simply someone wanting to do something exciting with family or friends, this Indoor Summer Running Series promises great fun for all!
