More than 1,000 athletes representing 79 nationalities took part in the seventh edition of the DXB Snow Run at Ski Dubai, held in partnership with the Dubai Sports Council.

The annual event once again transformed the indoor slopes into a -4°C racecourse, with participants aged 13 to 70 tackling either a 3km or 5km route across the venue’s snowy terrain.

This year’s edition delivered strong performances across all categories. Among the individual winners were Pia Hansske, Paola Garcia, Gabriela Fatu, Egor Mishutin, Yon Moreno, Vegard Hansske, Sophie Geddes, Liset Burguera, Olga Belokrylova, Mohammed Al Hassani, Yeison Londono Franco and Omar Al Mehairi. Team Dubai Police, C4 MOE and The Five topped the group classifications.

The DXB Snow Run has grown steadily since its launch, becoming one of the region’s most distinctive community sporting events thanks to its unique sub-zero setting and inclusive format. Organisers highlighted the diverse field of competitors and the continued enthusiasm for indoor endurance events as temperatures rise outdoors.  Planning is already under way for next year’s edition.
