Races/United Arab Emirates
Training plan for the Dubai Marathon
Sunday, 17 January 2027 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. That is 14 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 third Sunday in January, which puts the 2028 race on Sunday, 16 January 2028. That date is not announced yet, so check it before planning to it — but a Marathon build for it would start the week of 6 September 2027.
On the day
One distance: Marathon. Entries, course and timings are dubaimarathon.org’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.
