Hey Prachi. Hope you are well. I am not in Dubai hence won't be participating in this but I have spoken to the organizer regarding a freelance project and below are some of the protocols that they mentioned ..1) Extended start time window (participants will start racing in waves as opposed to everyone starting together); reduced volunteer numbers across the event; strict social distancing within the start area ( compulsory wearing of mask before and after the race) 2) Contactless medal distribution following the finish line 3) Temperature checks before entering the start area. 4) Refund scheme, should the race be canceled at the last minute. 5) Spectators to a minimum 6) Either contactless aids station or minimum volunteers..

Hi Prachi, please feel free to reach out to the organizers on sports@promosevensports.com or via Facebook Promoseven Sports Marketing They will be happy to answer any questions 😃

It is to be noted that it's a 5km loop.. so even though there is a staggered start... All runners will come across each other in any of the 4 loops.. not sure how they are planning to tackle this

Bridge repeats works 👍 beach road bridge is pretty safe

Car park

Gharoud bridge or business bay you may consider

Tridubai hill training in Jebel Ali on Sunday.

Take the stairs if u stay in sky scrapers

Also any idea if the Dubai marathon is happening in Jan 2021?

I am waiting for my crystal ball to come from Amazon to be able to answer this question 😊😁😁

There was a post the other day asking for contacts in the insurance world to help ensure COVID related things were covered etc so I’d say a while off registrations just yet
