The event is known for its carnival-like atmosphere, offering participants a spread of delicious food outlets, live entertainment and music to delight all ages. People of determination get free entry to their event with the SANAD Card, along with one companion.

Held under the Patronage of HH Sheikh Mansoor bin Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum, Chairman of the Higher Committee for the Protection of the Rights of People of Determination, the Emirates NBD Unity Run supports Al Noor Training Centre for People of Determination, Senses Residential and Day Care Centre, and Red Crescent.
