Tomorrow, here we will have Dubai Standard Chartered Marathon.
Elite athletes will run for the highest price in marathon, There are 10 km and 4 km family run sections as well.
This year they have changed the number / chip collection point from one of hotel to Skydive Dubai's area.
The moment I went there I liked this change. There are plenty of space, relaxed atmosphere, enough parking area no congestion ect..
only negative thing is carpet on uneven surface. I was so careful after I noticed that. But sometimes, things just happen even you tired to avoid.
I injured my left ankle on the way out :(
Hope it will be OK till Friday morning.
You're taking part? It makes sense to run it this time of year over there.
ReplyDeleteRest the leg!
I was planning to participate to 10 KM, Even the injury is mild, if I would run 10 km on Friday it will definitely become serious injury afterwards.
DeleteI have passed my number to a friend. I will be there to support instead of running.
..of course with my camera :)
BTW the weather is just perfect
