Voted as one of the best running venues in Dubai, The Desert Palm Cross Country Run powered by ANTA takes you past grazing horses, chirping birds and beautiful flowers – as if you were out in the countryside. The race starts on grass and then changes to sand, gravel and paved roads as you head along the private roads of the estate. Join Anta and Super Sports for this X – C Run, from advanced to fun runners, young or experienced, run or walk 3k, 5k, 10k or 15k. Music, refreshments, parents & children running together and a community feel is what makes this race special. This is Urban X-Country at its best!
