How it works?
Each team will consist of 2 runners, each running an equal distance (approx 10.5km) of 21.1km. The “First” runner will start the mass race at 6am. The “Second runner will be at the changeover zone on the route. They can get to this point via our shuttle bus from the finish area (Burj park/Dubai mall). These buses will then transport “First” runners back to the finish zone as “Second” runners finish the race.
We have a limit of 500 teams (1000 runners).
