The ADNOC Abu Dhabi Marathon brings together elite athletes, recreational runners and families for a major running event in the United Arab Emirates. With a scenic start on Abu Dhabi's Corniche, the event showcases the capital's waterfront setting and distinctive city landmarks, attracting participants from across the world.

Runners can choose from the full Marathon, a two person Marathon Relay, 10K, 5K and 2.5K Fun Run. The flat road courses provide opportunities for personal best attempts and accessible shorter distance challenges, with professional timekeeping, split times, refreshment stations and medical support throughout the event. The range of distances welcomes everyone from experienced marathon runners to those taking part in their first organised run.

The event village adds to the atmosphere with entertainment, activities and space for supporters to gather. Participants receive an official running shirt, while finishers are rewarded with a commemorative medal and access to digital results, certificates and event photography, making the Abu Dhabi Marathon a celebration of running in the heart of the UAE capital.
