Saucony Dubai Autodrome 10K 2014
“Nice track and route on a beautiful morning! - Route is beautiful, thank you for the volunteers and marshals, great job! Food was excellent!! Nice medal and shirt giveaway! Maybe make the start also chip timing to be more accurate and fair for the people starting in the back.”
“Memorable, Positive experience - This was my first official 10K, enjoyed it throughly”
“Very ood event.g - Overall it was pleasant and well organized. Except for the start as it was a manual start. The buffet was very good in terms of variety, quality and service .The marshals were dispersed on the track which was good for people who faced problems.”
“Always love Saucony tshirt, but very cheap medal! - Poor start organization. No sign whatsoever. No time mat at the start line, hence no net time. Lack of drink stations. The GPS on my running watch and mobile phone showed the finish line is about 100-150m over 10k. The rest is just average. Nothing special.”
“Superb event - Excellent event throughout. From registration for the event to receiving our times (within hours of finishing). Great t-shirt and buffet breakfast. Faultless, thanks again. ”
“Great event AGAIN - Very enjoyable event again. Easy to enter, event orgainsation spot on. Missed the timing clock at the finish. Enjoyable breakfast following event. Good to see well attended prize giving. Look forward to next years event.”
“A great community initiative - This was my first time in this race and it was great to see so many accomplished runners. A very well organised event. It was slightly warm, perhaps the race can be started earlier?”
“Thanks - Always a great event, running or Marshaling thanks Graham and all the team”
“I have not received my T-shirt yet - I have not received my T-shirt yet”
“A runners' event.... - ...an iconic event in the running calendar. Not a PB course for sure but different to all of the other Dubai events. It's great to run the Autodrome in race conditions and the whole thing has a special atmosphere of its own.”
“Well organized - Overall it was ok, but i can still see some cutting the run, like cutting bends. they should be rated "did not finish"DNF because it is unfair to those who went thru everything. can't help it if some people are stubborn. overall, congratulations! well organized with visible safety team and food and refreshments right after plus medals and shirts and awards after. well done! keep up the good work!”
“Excellent organisation - What a happy event, and very very well organised.. well done the team...and Thanks ”
“Organized event - Excellent. I wish to easily print online my time certificate.”
“Fantastic location, well-organized before/after - We had fun ! Kids participatief as well. I did Find the categorie boys 12-17 a big categorie! Hope to see more events at the autodrome. I love that place! ”
“Excellent fun event - Great run but the course a little to many hills ”
“Challenging but fun - Great to run the autodrome again. Well organized event but missing the times when results announced - not that I was anywhere near winning! But the after even breakfast is a good social gathering.”
“Great race very well organised and lots of goodies - Really well organised race- good pre race directions and easy number collection, delicious and plentiful post race breskfast loads of lovely prizes and a nice fitting technical t shirt. The race itself was really good fun- running round the autodrome and a nice touch starting the kids race first so we could cheer them on. My only suggestion would be to start the race with " runners start your engines" rather than "ready, set,go"! ”
“Awesome Event - Great event near the end of the season in Dubai .Thanks Road runners!”
“As always its one of my Fav events - due to Hills. - Always look forward to this event and the challenge of the hills. its always well organised and thank you to all the people who help at this event. A great morning and especially to see the kids participate. Thanks.”

“Great Event - Thanks for making it happen - Great morning....all aspects of the race where well planned....no complaints.....my 6 year old kid loved it as well....not much one can do about making the course exciting....maybe music could be added but that will probably be at a cost....the breakfast was TASTY with no lines...Shirt was GREAT.....could not stay for winner announcements or event giveaways...A HUGE THANK YOU FOR THE EFFORT AND TIME! ”
“Not for the faint-hearted! - Great race! Tough uphills. Great weather and good food! A must-return race for enthusiasts. Good job everyone.”
“A runners event for runners - A good event for introducing some hills to your running in Dubai. Well organised. Better than expected food after the event (i expected a banana but got a whole hot buffet).”
“Excellent as always! - Well organised by the Dubai Road Runners. Excellent running jersey and delicious food afterwards, could be the best value for money event of the year!”
“110% from all non-runners involved - Can't praise Graham and his team for the commitment shown to allow us to run and also thanks to the organisations supporting this event”
“Breakfast was surprise bcoz mention onle refreshments no pb and hard weather and route but i love it next year i will bring my son Breakfast was surprise bcoz mention onle refreshments no pb and hard weather and route but i love it next year i will bring my son”
“Good experience - I will definitely join next year.”
“One of the best events in the year - Excellent organization and fantastic buffet, great t-shirts. Only downside was an apparent high number of finishers shown as DNF (including myself) where the chip was not picked up at the Finish line which is disappointing. There were 25 DNFs shown which is unusually high I think?”
“Disappointed with the lack of communications - Never received a t-shirt for the event, which was made clear when joining the event. Lack of marshals when arrival no clear briefing and no t-shirt. I will not enter this event again. ”
“Great Event overall - Well organised event, and refreshments after were much better than expected. The only I could complain about was the course and KM markings were not accurate. But overall it was great race. ”
“It was well organised - I ran on this course gor the first time...it was slightly hard but I felt great after completing my run...running non stop is not easy but I can proudly say that yes I did it. Great work by the organisers. Keep up the good work. Savita Kapoor”
“Definitely Hilly - A little hot and definitely hilly. Good services after the race. ”
“Best 10km in UAE - The natures of the course simply makes this the best road 10km in the UAE and the excellent organisation is the icing on the cake”
“Great race, tough course with loads of hills - Thanks to the organizers, awesome race! Great course with loads of hills. Love the Saucony shirt and breakfast afterwards. Thank you”
“Great we'll organised event - Glad I was able to attend as I missed it last year”
“Excellent organization great VFM - Other runs should take note - nice T shirt / chip timing / breakfast / and great trophys for all the category's. graham and his team did a brilliant job. Well done and many thanks to all who organized, marshaled, gave out the water and those who cheered us on. A tough but safe course. would recommend. ”
“Fast but hilly race! - Really well organized - perfect location! Not too many participants - you can run your own race without being hindered by other runners. Timings all well respected, no big talks or advertisements, just the real stuff! Breakfast and t-shirt are both top quality!! Well worth the registration fee!! See you next year!!!!!”
“Great - I'd love the venue,reception and refreshment.”
“Great event - Thanks again to Graham and all volunteers for putting together a great race. Breakfast was very good as well. Looking forward to next year's race.”
“Well Organised, well done Road Runners. - Another great event, thank you. Love the course, but the hills are a killer on the legs, is there any downhill sections?? Well supported and sponsored, breakfast is always a hit, and keeps the crowd back to applaud the winners. Hope the guy the paramedics attended is ok.”
“Great, as usual ! - Once again, a very nice race. Thank you organizers, marshalls, water stations guys, ... Nice breakfast, nice prize giving. To make it even better, we could have a PA speaker on departure and arrival and a clock on arrival. You'll see us next year for sure !!”
“Great race - Very well organised”
“Excellent - Very well organised event.”
“Great race, thanks to all. - A start line wouldn't have gone amiss! Other than that, great race on a testing course, with excellent organisation. Easy to find, park etc and it always seems to start on time. Massive thanks to Graham for organising, and to Carol, Martin and all the other marshalls.”
