Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai, announced after the world's largest free fun run on Sunday morning that more than 193,000 people took part.
“More than 193,000 ran together-thank you Dubai,” Sheikh Hamdan said in a post on Instagram within hours after leading the sea of runners on Sheikh Zayed Road.
This year's Dubai Run, the flagship event of Dubai Fitness Challenge, has seen 47,000 more runners participate than in 2021 when the pandemic resulted in 146,000 runners.
