In preparation for the upcoming Dubai Run on November 23, 2025, Salik, Dubai’s toll gate system, has announced revised rates for the event day. The adjustments aim to accommodate the expected surge in traffic due to the city-wide fitness event, which is part of the Dubai Fitness Challenge. During the morning peak hours from 6am to 10am, toll rates will increase to Dh6, up from the usual Dh4 on Sundays. Evening peak hours from 4pm to 8pm will remain at Dh4, while low-peak rates of Dh4 will apply from 10am to 4pm and 8pm to 1am. Salik confirmed these changes via social media on Friday, November 21. The Dubai Run offers flexible start times for registered participants, beginning as early as 4am, with the official start at 6.30am and the start line closing at 8am. The event features two routes: a 5km flat route suitable for all ages and abilities, starting near the Museum of the Future and passing iconic landmarks like the Burj Khalifa and Dubai Opera, and a 10km route designed for experienced runners, which includes crossing the Dubai Canal Bridge and looping along Sheikh Zayed Road. The event underscores Dubai’s commitment to promoting health and fitness among its residents and visitors.
