In honour of the nation’s Founding Father, the inclusive event will offer 3km, 5km and 10km routes and donate all proceeds.
The kindest race in the world is back!
Hosted in collaboration with Abu Dhabi Sports Council, the marathon’s organising committee, and Emirates Red Crescent, the Zayed Charity Marathon – Abu Dhabi 2022 will be hosted under the generous patronage of His Highness, Sheikh Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, the Ruler’s Representative in the Al Dhafrah Region.
This year, the event is scheduled for 19 November at 7am and offers routes that are suitable for participants of all ages and fitness levels. Starting and ending at the beautiful Erth Abu Dhabi Hotel (formerly known as the Armed Forces Officers Club) runners can choose to partake in the 3km family fun, the 5km intermediate course, or the 10km advanced route.
Established in 2001, the inclusive and charitable annual race is held in tribute to the Founding Father of the Nation, the late Sheikh Zayed, who was himself a passionate humanitarian. Previously, the marathon has been held internationally in New York, USA, and in Egypt.
