Races/United Arab Emirates
Training plan for the ADNOC Abu Dhabi Marathon
Saturday, 12 December 2026 in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates. That is 9 weeks away.
When a build would have to start
ALLUNGO plans a block of a length that suits the distance, then works backwards from race day. For this one:
Marathon — a 18-week build, 5 runs a week
Not enough room left for the full build.
Too close? The next one
The organiser runs this the second Saturday in December, which puts the 2027 race on Saturday, 11 December 2027. That date is not announced yet, so check it before planning to it — but a Marathon build for it would start the week of 2 August 2027.
On the day
One distance: Marathon. Entries, course and timings are adnocabudhabimarathon.com’s. They decide when entries open and close, and whether the race runs at all — ALLUNGO sells nothing here and takes nothing from them.
The date here is the one the organiser published, rechecked every 1 hour against the list. Confirm it on their site before you enter.
