“Not bad, but there are a lot of things to improve - Some things which you can improve (IMHO): 1. Place distance signs. 2. Devide forward and backward route by tape (strip) even from the begining cause it provide for cheating (for example last time on 3K running one gay suddenly appeared the first one (far ahead) on the first water station, but he hadn't pace (speed)). 4. Make longer gap between 10K & 3K start. Cause a lot 10K pedestrian interfere for 3K runners from the begining. Need time to dissolve 10K runners on the distance. Thanks”

“Great run, few details could improve - Hi, While I enjoyed the Dubai desert run and am happy to participate again in the future, maybe the following can be improved: -plastic cups during race - why not paper cups? they hold better and are more eco-friendly -when starting the second lap there was some confusion about the route signange: some runners went back to the starting line -happy for the race to start at 7 a.m. rather than 7.30 a.m. Best regards!”

“Good event - It was overall a good event, not too crowded which i liked. The weather condition was awful though at the time i participated, very windy which made the course more difficult. The medal could be better. I think it was just paper taped on both sides of the medal :(”

“Amazing value - Its a great local event and everyone involved is owed huge thanks for orgainising it. Ideally, I think it would start a little earlier - 7.30am is late whislt its still so warm. Also, ideally, there'd be bottles of water rather than cups - but I understand the cost issues here. All in all, a really fun experience.”

“Thank you for encourage sports and athletics - Please start 3 KMS race first, so children know they run 3 KMS without confusion and follow 3 KMS route. Also please keep gap between 10k and 3K race start minimum 10 minutes, ”

“Amazingy fun run - It was an amazing run meeting diffrent ppl giving kind advices and words of encouragement to push yourself. It was windy but perfectly windy..the cones were placed well..except the distance covered km stand. They were a bit confusing. I guess u can organise that better next time. The water stands were organised well with dustbins. Props to you. only thing is results were a tad bit late. I would like to see tje results on the same day when im soo energetic about it. overeall it was amazing.”

“Fairly well organized event - I did not receive a shirt, eventhough I was asked to enter a size. And from a temperature perspective, it should have started 1 hr earlier...with finish around sunrise... And not a start after sunrise.”

“Nice run, well organized - The run is well organized, people are friendly. The run itself is on the road, the landscape is not so great. A bit harder than expected due to the heat! I would participate to the next one though.”

“Great training event - Have run this 10km event a few times now, it gets better every time. Registration, pre-event communication and start all good. Few areas to improve would be the support stations, under resourced on two and the other the results service, perhaps worth considering moving to "chip code" system like other key UAE events.”

“Beware the incline! - Nice route with loads of space to run. NA long straight with an incline will sort out the runners from the rest!! numerous water stations but under-manned so time your arrival at them.”
