Dubai Metro is going to start operations as early as 5 pm, instead of the regular 8 am, on January 12 to facilitate smooth transportation for Dubai Marathon – an annual road-based marathon hosted in the UAE megacity since 1998.

The 24th edition of Dubai Marathon on Sunday is set to see thousands of people hit the roads from 6 am for a grand 42 km challenge. This marathon represents Dubai’s deepening focus on fitness and health care.

There are three different races to choose from – a 4 km run, a 10 km run and the ultimate 42 km run. This year, Dubai Marathon’s start and finish shall be on the Umm Sequin Road opposite Madinat Jumeirah. The nearest metro station is Mall Of the Emirates Metro Station.

Dubai Marathon is staged under the auspices of Dubai Sports Council and is possibly the oldest marathon in the Middle East region. The 4 km fun run starts at 10:30 am, and the 10 km and elite races start at 8:15 am and 6 am, respectively.
