Desert Palm X-Country Run

Desert Palm X-Country Run, held in Dubai, is an urban cross-country event powered by ANTA and hosted by Super Sports UAE. Runners can choose 3k, 5k or 10k distances, starting from the Melia Desert Palm Hotel. The course winds through manicured polo-field gardens, across grass, then over sandy urban tracks, with tree-lined estate roads and views of grazing horses and flowers.

The atmosphere emphasizes community, with music, refreshments, and families running together. Participants receive a certificate, medal, and timing. The event combines countryside feel with city venue, offering a scenic, varied surface experience on private estate roads. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
