“You need to tell us there is swimming - This race was fun, except waiting 3.5 hours to start, tripping on rocks, and the unexpected 200m swim at the end. You can't tell people to arrive to a venue in 3 hours before the event starts in 100 degree heat as well as handing out free REDBULL which dehydrates and increases heart rates.... and THEN have the race start a half hour late. It was a fun "RUN" but you can't add trekking through water and a 200m swim at the end. People need to know these things to prepare accordingly. Thanks!”

“Shallow water can be more better. - Friend had an accident during the run and none of the marshals knows what to do... *panic* -_- Good route though if there were a little bit more lights. Dirt run was kinda dangerous.”

“Great fun, unexpectedly wet! - The event was loads of fun. However, we were not informed that half the event would be completed through a water obstacle course until 5 min before race started, where we were told that we would have to go through knee deep water. The first water part was waist deep! It was great fun, but would have been even better if we knew we were going to be in water before and could have dressed appropriately. ”

“Good fun but more lighting on the course needed - The uneven surfaces needed more light shone on them as they were quite a few large stones on this. Better communication about post race events needed.”

“ Excellent event for all - This was very well organsied event; lots of fun, the route was fantastic also the refreshments was excellent. Overall well recommended family event to enjoy and participate. ”

“Different but great experience - Only in Dubai would a 5k fun run become an event where you wade through water up to your thighs ! I know it was not clear what the run would involve, but I and the group I was in really enjoyed the whole experience as it was completely different to anything we had done before in a 5k run. The atmosphere and glo when the lights went out set a great atmosphere, agreed the terrain was rough and lighting hard to see but I would definitely run this event again. ”

“Most enjoyable - Did this with my son and it was a fantastic evening. we both really enjoyed it.”

“Great but you'll get wet up to your waist! - Great vibe and fun atmosphere, we were able to go for a pre- and post- event swim in the wave pool. The course was an up-and-back along the road leading to wadi adventure (1 side Tarmac other side sand), then through the wadi adventure park - along the white water rafting course in the wate”

“Event was not as advertised. - Event was not as advertised as a "fun run", it was an obstacle course, which included water to the waist. The first water station was too far from the beginning of the race. There was little to no lighting along the course. It was hard to see the rough terrain, very dangerous. The course could have also had distance signage along the route. The pre-race was amazing, with the music, paint for decoration, etc. ”

“A Great course, a lot of fun - The course was a lot of fun but in some places a little dangerous as it was too dark. I found that the marshalls in general were not very enthusiastic or motivational to the participants and the email sent out requested people to be there at 5pm when there was not really any reason to get there that early. Not enough water on offer before and during the race the two water stations were very close together. Food was very nice for this event and the giveaways and tshirts were good.”

“Great Idea Bad Course - I like the Idea of a Glow Run. What I didn't like is the half of the course that had me wading through knee or thigh high water. Now I heard it said prepare to get wet. Well, everyone has a different idea of what getting wet means. This is not a good event for people, who can't swim or have a fear of water, those that don't like climbing down or up rocks or those that don't like to have wet shoes and clothes during a race. Please next time, skip the water and make it a true Glow Run. ”

“A lot of water. - More water than is advertised. ”

“The late start was disappointing. - The late start was disappointing. Apart of that it was a good event.”

“Brilliant! - A fantastic evening! Well done! Loved it!”
