Dubai Mallathon is returning for its 2026 edition, giving residents and visitors another way to stay active indoors throughout the summer. The free event will run from June 15 to September 15 as part of Dubai Summer Surprises 2026. Participants can choose to walk, jog, or run across dedicated indoor routes ranging from 2.5km to 10km.
Nine malls across Dubai will take part in this year’s event, including Dubai Mall, Mall of the Emirates, Dubai Hills Mall, Dubai Festival City Mall, City Centre Mirdif, City Centre Deira, Dubai Marina Mall, Dubai Festival Plaza, and Springs Souk. The indoor routes provide a comfortable environment for exercise during the warmer months. Participants can complete the routes at their own pace, making the event suitable for all fitness levels.
Dubai Mallathon attracted more than 40,000 participants last year and earned a Guinness World Record. The event has quickly become one of the city’s most popular summer fitness initiatives. With three months to take part, the 2026 edition is expected to welcome thousands of walkers and runners once again.
