This week starts the countdown to one of the biggest and most beloved Dubai sporting events, the Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon. From professional athletes, to first-time racers, and everyone in-between, more than 25,000 runners will test their limits as they make their way through the streets of Dubai next Friday.

In preparation for the marathon, there will be many road closures, and parking will be limited. We’ve partnered up with our friends and Standard Charter, to make getting to and from the race as easy as possible. There will be dedicated pick-up and drop-off areas for Uber users to make it easy to find your ride.

New Uber users can also avail of a free first ride to pick up their race packs using promo code ‘SCRP16’, or ‘SCDM16’ for a free first ride to or from the marathon (up to AED100).
