Marina Home Dubai Creek Striders Half Marathon 2026

The Marina Home Dubai Creek Striders Half Marathon & 10KM is a January road race in Dubai, featuring a half marathon and a 10K on the same day. It is organized by Dubai Creek Striders, a volunteer-run, not-for-profit running group, and sponsored by Marina Home. Now in its twentieth edition, the event possesses established local history, distinguishing it from a transient corporate event. The course follows Dubai Creek, offering runners a city route connected to one of Dubai’s historic trading and waterfront districts. Organizers describe the half marathon as “the world’s most beautiful half marathon.” The race attracts international participants alongside local runners. Its field is intentionally diverse, with club runners, casual runners, various nationalities, and different backgrounds competing together in a broad race environment.
