One of the greatest athletes of all time, Usain Bolt will be heading to Dubai this weekend.

The 11-time world champion and 8-time Olympic gold medallist will be lacing up his trainers on Saturday, November 13 for a 1.45-kilometre family run at Expo 2020 to raise funds for charity.

Not only will the Jamaican athlete run with you, he will also be doing a meet and greet with some lucky fans at the Bolt pavilion, located in the Mobility District. 

Bolt has teamed up with Gatorade and Expo 2020 Dubai's Sports, Fitness and Wellbeing Hub for the event, which will benefit Al Noor Rehabilitation & Welfare Association for People of Determination.

The run is open to people of all ages and abilities, and is free to join but participants are encouraged to donate to the cause.

Pre-registration is mandatory to save your space at the start line.
