"Ski Dubai Reintroduces Snow Run: Participants Brace for Icy Race in May"
The sixth edition of the DXB Snow Run, Dubai's only indoor snow run in the Middle East, is set to take place on Sunday, June 29, 2025, at Ski Dubai in Mall of the Emirates. This year, the event introduces a new format, the Snow Duathlon, combining a 5 km stationary cycling segment with a snow run of either 3 km or 5 km.
This unique endurance challenge offers a stark and exciting contrast to Dubai's desert heat, promising a sub-zero summer experience inside Ski Dubai, where temperatures will drop to -4°C. The DXB Snow Run emphasises Dubai's commitment to providing opportunities for people of all abilities and backgrounds to stay active, welcoming participants aged 13 to 60 who can compete solo or in two-person teams.
Registration for the event is now live and will close on June 27, 2025. Interested participants can sign up online through event platforms associated with the Dubai Fitness Council or CRANK fitness studio, organisers of the event. Registration costs vary depending on age and whether you enter solo or as a team.
The DXB Snow Run is part of Dubai's broader push to promote inclusive, innovative sports events and support its vision for sports tourism and year-round athletic engagement. It is an essential component in solidifying Dubai's status as a global destination for unique sporting experiences.
In addition to the Snow Duathlon, Ski Dubai is hosting daily snow hikes for ages 13 to 70, running from Monday to Friday from 8:00 AM to 10:00 AM, and weekends from 7:00 AM to 9:00 AM.
The DXB Snow Run is open to all fitness levels and nationalities, making it an attractive event for both local residents and tourists. Medals will be awarded to all finishers, with prizes for the top three in each category.
So, if you're looking for an exciting and challenging way to beat the summer heat, look no further than the DXB Snow Run/Snow Duathlon. Don't miss your chance to register before the deadline on June 27, 2025. For more information, visit the official Ski Dubai or Dubai Fitness Council websites.
The DXB Snow Run is not only a unique endurance challenge for locals but also an attractive event for tourists, offering a contrasting experience to Dubai's desert heat.
