Nakheel, a member of Dubai Holding Real Estate, and the master developer behind Palm Jumeirah has announced its sponsorship of the 2025 Nakheel Palm Run, an annual community road race on one of Dubai’s most iconic landmarks. Scheduled for Sunday, 9 November 2025, the event invites runners of all abilities to embrace a healthier lifestyle and experience Palm Jumeirah’s unique coastal setting.

The Nakheel Palm Run offers three timed distances – 3 km, 5 km and 10 km – ensuring there is a challenge suited to every fitness level. Competitors will set off from the Boardwalk at Palm Jumeirah and follow a scenic route along its outer edge, overlooking the Arabian Gulf and offering panoramic views of Palm Jumeirah, Jumeirah Burj Al Arab and Dubai’s skyline. This blend of urban and waterfront vistas underscores Nakheel’s commitment to developing destinations that inspire active living and community connection.

Every participant will receive a finisher’s medal, certificate and commemorative t‑shirt, and entry includes a Palm Monorail ticket. To streamline race day logistics, all attendees must park at Palm Jumeirah Mall and use the Monorail to reach the start/finish area.

Khalid Al Malik, Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Holding Real Estate, said:
“As the developer of Palm Jumeirah and proud sponsor of the Nakheel Palm Run, Nakheel is committed to creating spaces where people can live well and thrive. This event celebrates both our city’s world‑class destinations and the spirit of community. By supporting accessible, inclusive fitness initiatives, we encourage residents and visitors alike to embrace a healthy lifestyle while enjoying the beauty of Palm Jumeirah.”
