“Nice route! - It's a nice replacement for the Saucony Hills Half Marathon and good to have a 10 Miler event, something different to the usual 5K, 10K and HM distances. Breakfast can be improved.”

“Well organised and great distance! - Very well organized! Registration and timing were smooth and fast. Course could have been better in emirates hills like last year but the loop around the desert was good distance wise. Marshals were helpful and encouraging, as well as support stations, thank you. Great breakfast and good giveaways (lucky draw). Overall well done and good value for money. Nice medal too! Recommended.”

“My first 10 mile run - Last October the race was half marathon running in Emirates Hills, Meadows and Springs. This time mainly around the Jebel Ali Race track, which as such is not a big deal, however, the smaller roads in half marathon were nicer. The way event was handled I have no complaints, it was smooth, nice and everyone involved did the best. Breakfast after the race was right on! I will be running the same next year, if arranged. ”

“Well organized - Well organized, route is nice but not easy, hills and sand during the round on the golf course and exposure to the wind at the rest of the route. There was a great atmosphere and free breakfast afterwards was definitely a treat. Free massage after the race was also great (however you needed to sign up for this early to make a chance of receiving it) ”

“HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! - Excellent organization. Great marshalling (that included cheerful messages and runner support) and signage. Route could be less straight and more attractive, but considering the location, almost perfect. Water stations and Gu were optimally located. Breakfast was incredible. Would have loved to see more pictures and videos. Was not aware whether there were pace keepers, and that could be amazing. ”

“Great event, well organised - This was my first time taking part in this event. The collection of race packs was easy and quick. The course was lovely, well marshalled and safe. Great lucky dip prizes. The volunteers on the course were encouraging and friendly and did a wonderful job. The only let down was the post event breakfast - too much bread, not enough fruit, and no eggs -.eggs would've been awesome, but no such luck :( ”

“Course boring, well organised, racepacks uninspiri - Suggestion to make the breakfast afterwards an optional extra. For those not interested in eating right after a run, might bring costs down. Surely there must be prettier runs in the area than just around the horse race course? How about the lakes in Meadows as was done with last year's NBAD runs? Maybe few more portable toilets at start with ropes indicating queue areas - many runners just walked right up to toilets, not even joining the queues at all??!! Otherwise well organised! Thanks.”

“Lovely friendly race - Would have been nice to have some commentary as we crossed the line. Our bibs had our names on it, so could have called out name out as we crossed the line, that's always great.”

“Great first-time event; good course. - I really enjoyed this race - from the start area being well organised to the course itself. It was unfortunate that the municipality refused to close the drain covers - I hope there were no incidents. The breakfast was tasty but there should have been more fruit available as they ran out. Great organisation on the day, great medals, and great looking trophies for the top winners. I'll definitely take part in this race again.”

“Good event, well organised, enjoyed it - Good event, well organised, enjoyed it, nice medal. Possible improvements: - would have been nicer to run around the lakes in Emirates Hills rather than Hessa Street. - food buffet after the run should be covered as there were flies standing on the food. ”

“Great Race - Excellent organisation and started on time. Course was a bit boring in places, but not much can be done about that. The finish was great, with excellent food provided. Overall, a great race which I would do again.”

“Great event but my timing chip did not work - Really enjoyed the race, interesting course which was well marked and marshaled. The medal was excellent and the breakfast afterwards was also good quality. The only bad point was my chip did not work as on the results I show as DNS. I had my bib number pinned to my chest and went over the timing mats at both the start and finish. ”

“Great event - Thoroughly enjoyed this race. Good comms in advance, and flexibility around picking up bibs on race morning was appreciated as was the bag drop facility. Water stations were spaced out really well along the course. Couple more portaloos at the start and finish area would be a good addition next time. Overall a great event, nice size, well managed on the day. Well done, see you next year!”

“Fantastic Addition to the UAE Running Calendar - Wasn’t racing so enjoyed the varied terrain, course (despite the raised manhole covers!) and friendly atmosphere. Numbers were just about right, anymore runners then the first 2km or so would be over crowded. Great Event to start the running season. Stiff completion for the Donut 10!”

“Good Event - Time printout available on the day would be great. Better Distance markers One area of the route right at the end, on a Golf course track was deep sand which is dangerous. ”

“Great little race - Very well organised race, great venue & liked the fact that it was a smaller race. Registration was easy, race packs could have been a little more exciting but I guess it's not easy to get companies to donate freebies, great updates about hazards on the track, water table & enroute volunteers were great, as were the police on the crossings, the medals were great & so was our well earned breakfast. As for the course, it gave plenty of space for everyone but the soft sand stretches were a killer!”

“Great! - Enjoyed the size of the event. Very relaxed and enjoyable. Pre-race comms good and flexible pick up on race day of bibs. Nice emails about this. I enjoyed. Well organised. Don't have any moans about the giveaways. Not an issue at all. Nice medal! Must get more toilets! Must! 1 toilet out of action by 5.50am - like day 3 of a festival. Hope its on the calendar again for next year!”

“IT is a good event but many things to improve - Event was enjoyable, but here are a few tips for next time. American University of Dubai didn't let anybody park despite clear instructions in pre-race communications. First 2-3 k were too crowded, couldn't pass other runners. Support stations can be improved (some bananas or solid in the 8k mark maybe). ”

“Smoothly organised, good course - Well done to all those involved in organising this event - it all seemed very well put together. An enjoyable course, and the sandy bits just add to the challenge. Regular water stations were appreciated. T-shirt would have been good and more toilets are needed pre-start.”

“Great race - Super race, especially for a first attempt. Great organisation and route etc. Only gripe is that having to go and pick up race packs before the day for an event shorter than a half is a bit annoying. Also - please can they water down the sand at EGC? It's tough to run on! Other than that, great job, thanks to organisers and I hope this event returns next year. ”

“Good course and generally goo organisation - Suggestion - the Faldo section was a little congested if sticking to the path. T-shirt rather than goody bag? Toilets a little limited. Generally a good route and the sand is always a challenge going out and coming back. Breakfast was good and so was the support team. 7 out of 10 but will improve Where are the results!!!!!!!”
