With just days left before one of Abu Dhabi’s most unique family events, young runners are getting ready to conquer a chilly challenge. The Snow Fun Run is returning for its second edition on Saturday, May 31, transforming Snow Abu Dhabi into a frosty racecourse in partnership with the Abu Dhabi Sports Council.
Tailored for children aged 6 to 14, the event promises a 400-metre sprint through real snow. Participants will gather tokens along the way for a chance to win in a raffle draw — all while racing the clock.
The event is split into three age groups: the 6–8 category begins at 8:30 a.m., followed by the 9–11 group at 9:00 a.m., and finally the 12–14 runners at 9:30 a.m.
Aside from the adrenaline and fun, finishers will take home a commemorative medal, a souvenir t-shirt, and a warm cup of hot chocolate. Families and guardians are invited to support their young racers from a special viewing zone, with free entry for accompanying adults. Snacks and additional refreshments will be available at the venue.
Tickets, starting at AED 85 and inclusive of hot chocolate, are available via Premier Online. Organizers urge interested families to register before the May 29 deadline, as slots are filling up quickly.
