On 18 January 2026, the Tristar Half Marathon returns as a community-focused road event in Dubai, built around four distances: a 21.1 km half marathon, 10 km, 5 km and 3 km, making the morning accessible to everyone from first-time runners to experienced racers. Starting from the Meydan/Nad Al Sheba area, the routes use fully closed tarmac roads laid out in loops and out-and-back sections, offering long straights, gentle curves and only mild elevation changes, ideal for steady pacing and comfortable running. The half marathon and 10 km act as the core competitive distances with prize money, while the shorter 5 km and 3 km options cater to families, newer runners and walkers in a more relaxed format. With chip timing, race shirts, medals, on-course refreshments and a busy race village with music and family entertainment, the event blends a race-day buzz with Tristar’s “business for purpose” community ethos.
