Dubai Ride is a bike-riding marathon presented by DP, taking place on November 5 as part of the Dubai Fitness Challenge. This marathon is held in two different routes. The first is the general route, which is a 14 km ride through Sheikh Zayed Road, passing by Burj Khalifa and other landmarks. The circuit is for ages 10 and above and starts at five different points, which will be specified upon registration, along with further details.
The second is a family ride, a 4km stroll through the Emaar Boulevard, which includes parts of Dubai Mall and the Downtown area. This ride has only one stop and can accommodate children younger than 10, as it’s shorter and scene-friendly. Although both routes are showcased on the website for reference, they are easy to follow due to the presence of stewards on-site to guide bikers and provide quick stops for refreshments.
All riders must stop cycling by 7:30 and return to their cars before traffic is up and running again.
