Dubai: The Dubai Sports Council and Majid Al Futtaim have officially opened registration for the sixth edition of the DXB Snow Run – the first and only event of its kind in the Middle East.

The race is set to take place on 18th May 2025, inside the snowy halls of Ski Dubai, located at Mall of the Emirates.

This year’s event invites runners from all nationalities and fitness levels, aged 16 and above, to take on the frosty challenge in one of two race categories: 3 kilometres or 5 kilometres.

The DXB Snow Run offers a truly unique summer sports experience, with temperatures inside Ski Dubai plunging to below -4 °C, providing a thrilling contrast to the region's seasonal heat and making it a must-attend event for both residents and tourists.

Registration is now open on PremierOnline and will remain available until 15th May 2025.

Snow sports have become a key fixture on the annual calendar of the Dubai Sports Council, which actively collaborates with various partners to host inclusive, diverse, and innovative events that reflect Dubai’s dynamic sports culture. These efforts also align with the city’s vision to promote sports tourism and create opportunities for people of determination and all nationalities living in Dubai to engage in the sports they love.

In partnership with Majid Al Futtaim, the Council continues to organize numerous snow-based competitions throughout the year—cementing Dubai’s position as a global hub for year-round sporting excellence.

To help participants prepare for race day, Ski Dubai is offering daily morning training sessions for runners aged 13 to 70. These include guided snow hikes up the slope, taking place Monday to Friday from 08:00 to 10:00, and Saturday to Sunday from 07:00 to 09:00.
