The elite athletes competing in this week’s Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon may have record-breaking ambitions following some slight changes to the route for the 19th staging of the Middle East’s biggest mass participation event on Friday (January 26).
Dubai Holding is set to smash its own formidable record for the number of corporate competitors when the city takes to the streets for the 19th staging of the Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon on Friday (January 26).
It will take a marathon effort by many departments of the Government of Dubai to prepare for the city’s role in the athletics’ world spotlight next week, with more than 30,000 runners expected to take to the streets for the Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon.
