When to go

15 November 2026: arrive by 07:00 for the 08:00 untimed 3 km start; briefing 07:45. Village opens 06:30 and the event ends 11:00. Register by 12 November, or earlier if capacity is reached; no registrations on event day.

Registration required. Check the organiser for remaining spaces.

Who can go

All ages in the eligible POD 3 km category; under 12s accompanied, under 18s need consent · POD card holders + one companion · free advance 3 km registration

The official POD registration section requires parent or guardian consent below 18, and adult accompaniment below 12. The untimed 3km route welcomes all ages. Free entry requires a SANAD or UAE POD card and includes one companion. The separate child-free entitlement is not promoted because ordinary adults pay.

What’s free & what to know

• Free participation is for people of determination with a SANAD Card or UAE People of Determination Card and one companion. Other entrants normally pay; this is not a generally free family race.
• Complete the official People of Determination Entry form in advance. The form is for the 3 km category, requires card information and agreement to the participant waiver.
• Registration closes 12 November 2026 or sooner when full. There are no registrations on event day; confirm successful registration before travelling.
• The 3 km route is untimed. Participants may walk, run or use wheelchairs. This free thing excludes the timed 5 km and 10 km competition categories and any trophy/prize claims.
• Under 18s need parent or guardian consent. Under 12s must have an adult accompanying them. The official FAQ welcomes one free buddy/companion and says volunteer buddies can be matched on the day if needed.
• Arrive at least one hour before the 08:00 start. The published programme lists 06:00–07:30 registration/check-in activity, but separately prohibits new event-day registrations.
• The POD registration section includes an event cap, participation medal and certificate, plus hydration and refreshments. Food outlets and market purchases in the village are optional and paid; no meal is promised.
• The organiser may change or cancel the event for weather or operational reasons. Check current participant instructions before travelling.
