Abu Dhabi’s fitness scene is gearing up for another energetic weekend as One Run prepares to return to the capital with its large-scale community race event on Hudayriyat Island.
Bringing together runners of all experience levels, the internationally celebrated event will attract everyone from competitive athletes to casual joggers looking to be part of an active evening outdoors.
With Hudayriat’s waterfront surroundings, a lively atmosphere, and race categories for all ages, it is set to be the city’s standout sporting event this month.

Multiple Distances for Every Fitness Level
Scheduled to take place on Saturday, May 23rd, the event will feature several race options designed to make participation accessible to a wide audience with no barriers.
Entrants can sign up for the Half Marathon, 10K, 5K, or 1K race, allowing seasoned runners and first-timers alike to join the action.
Hudayriyat Island has also become arguably Abu Dhabi’s most popular destination for outdoor fitness, thanks to its running tracks, cycling routes, and coastal views, making it a perfect host.
Part of an International Running Community
What makes One Run unique is its global reach. The race has developed into an internationally recognised running movement, with events taking place on the same day across multiple countries and cities around the world.
Since its launch, the initiative has brought together thousands of participants each year, creating a shared experience that connects runners through sport, wellness, and community engagement across major cities.
Music, Energy, and Waterfront Views
Beyond the race itself, participants will be part of an upbeat event atmosphere, complete with entertainment, cheering spectators, and a vibrant community feel throughout the evening.
If you are aiming to set a new personal record or simply want to enjoy an active social event with friends and family, One Run offers a memorable way to do so.
