We are spoilt for choice with beautiful beaches and the *perfect* weather for exercising.

Sometimes you just need some added motivation, so what better way to get out there than by joining a social running club?

We’ve rounded up a list of the best free ones around Dubai so you have no excuses to not get your steps in.

Spartan Run Club

Deets? This crew meets for a 5km run every Wednesday at SALT, Kite Beach at 6:15am. It’s free and open to the public but we encourage people and you can even join a WhatsApp community to stay in touch with your new running fam.

Jumeirah Johns Running Club

Deets? There’s a 5km social run every Friday morning from Zero Point Run Track on Kite Beach. Open to all abilities!

Humantra Running Club

Deets? More than a run club – Humantra Running Club is a running community. Every Saturday morning there’s an “Any Pace Any Face” 5km run, usually followed by stretching sessions and on Sunday the club hosts a longer run for the more seasoned runners.

Gymshark Running Club

Deets? Every Tuesday at 6am, Gymshark host a beginner-friendly, community-focused 30-minute run. Just bring the vibes.

ATB Running

Deets? Powered by Asics ME, lace up and hit the track with the ATB Running group. Regular runs are held at The Palm Jumeirah on Tuesdays, Townsquare and Zabeel Park on Thursdays and Dubai Hills Park every Saturday.

This is everything you need to do before the year ends.
