Sheikh Zayed Road will turn into a running track on Sunday morning for the Dubai Run, with motorists urged to take alternative routes.
A map released by the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) on social media shows that Sheikh Zayed Road will be closed on Sunday in both directions from 3:00 am to 9:30 am, while the service roads will be closed from 8:00 pm on Saturday.
Participants are urged to use the Dubai Metro to get to the start line, with the authority reminding them of the minimum AED 15 charge on their NOL card for a round trip.
