DUBAI
RELAY

January 10, 2026

Hood To Coast, the world's largest and most recognized relay running series from the United States, is making its debut in Dubai!

Known globally as the “Mother of All Relays,” the event brings together teams of runners who share a unique endurance challenge: covering 100 km in the heart of Dubai’s desert.

Teams of five runners, supported by their own vehicles, will race through breathtaking landscapes, including desert lakes and iconic natural reserves, with seamless transitions between runners at designated exchange points. This community-driven format not only tests endurance and teamwork but also celebrates Dubai as a premier international sports destination.

With a 40-year legacy in the USA and successful editions in China, Taiwan, and other countries, Hood to Coast Dubai will connect global running communities while showcasing the culture, spirit, and hospitality of the UAE.

Hood to Coast Dubai is proudly presented by XDubai as Title Sponsor, with the Al Salam Championship as Strategic Partner. The event is organized by PACEX Sports Group with the support of Nizzami Events Management. Together, these partners aim to establish the event as a flagship in Dubai’s sports tourism calendar.
