April is a good month to get back into running. If doing it alone doesn’t quite work, there are several run clubs in Dubai hosting weekly meet-ups you can join. All of them are free to join, though some require a quick sign-up.
1. GymNation x Solutions Group Social Run Club Series
Participants meet every Thursday evening in April 2026 at The Garden Project for a 5km run, followed by food, music, and time to hang out. Drinks and pizza are included after the run.
More details and how to join here.
If you have not been to The Garden Project yet, these April runs give you a reason to explore this new picnic-style hangout spot in Dubai.
2. Humantra Run Club
Members join a 5km “Any Pace Any Face” run every Saturday morning at Kite Beach. For more details on every session, join their WhatsApp group here.
