One event still on the calendar in the Gulf? A 5-kilometer run up and down a ski slope. Ski Dubai said the seventh edition of the DXB Snow Run is on for Sunday, May 17.
The -4⁰C run in snowy conditions is open to anyone aged 13 to 70. Last year’s edition at the indoor slope in the Mall of the Emirates attracted 700 runners representing 70 nationalities. Malls in the Gulf have been a bastion of normalcy amid the instability, although footfall is substantially down on usual levels.
