Dubai Marathon 2024

Live Stream, Course, Start Time, Race Route

The Dubai marathon is one of the richest marathon events worldwide, with large prize money atracting big names such as Ruth Chepng'etich, Haile Gebrselassie and Eric Kiptanui in the past.

The large prizes also add interest and attract a wider audience which has been helped by the availability of a live stream so viewes can watch the marathon online from around the world.

The Dubai marathon takes place in January each, year, however, it's pushed back this year to February, and is one of the earlier annual marathon events thanks in no small part to the need to have the race at a time before the temperatures soar - no-one wants to be running a marathon in Dubai in the summer months!
