Stay active this Holy Month at the Ramadan Run 2026 in Riyadh
Registration for the third edition of Ramadan Run is now open
Let’s not sugarcoat it – this time of the year can be a bit of a slog. The sparkle of an upcoming holiday feels like a distant glimmer, and your motivation’s somewhere under that mounting pile of laundry.
So, how do you thrive? You lace up. Because there’s a running event next Thursday March 5 that will get your heart rate (and spirits) up. Enter the Ramadan Run.
Designed with the spirit of the Holy Month in mind, this social event is all about coming together and having fun while energising and refreshing you, and where the focus shifts from competition to community.

The best part? Ramadan Run offers accessible distances: a 1km family fun run/walk (open to all), a free 1-mile youth race (for ages 7 to 11), and a 5km adult race (ages 12+). Perfect for those who have been fasting the whole day but still want to stay active and be part of the experience.
Set against the scenic backdrop of Wadi Webair, one of Riyadh’s most tranquil outdoor settings, the first race kicks off at 10pm. Under the glow of lights and the cool evening air of Riyadh, the event feels both energising and relaxed.
Adding to the fun, a cheerful candy station awaits along the course – a playful highlight that keeps younger participants motivated and brings an extra dose of joy to the run.
Whether you walk, jog, or run, the event welcomes everyone to participate at their own pace and enjoy the uplifting Ramadan atmosphere.
