The 3rd edition of the Tristar Half Marathon will be held at Expo City Dubai on January 18, 2026. In addition to the 21km course, running enthusiasts can participate in the 10km and 5km races, while there will also be a 3km course for younger children, families, and social runners. All the courses will take participants through the iconic Expo City venue.
As part of the commitment to social and community wellbeing, organizers of the event are offering registration fees at heavily subsidized rates, and every participant will receive an event T-shirt and finishers medal and personal race timing.

Furthermore, as part of the organizers’ commitment to environmental sustainability, and whilst plastic water bottles will be used for the event, these are recyclable plastics, and the event T-shirts are being made from the recycled plastics i.e., ‘your event water bottles end up as event T-shirts’!
The winners from all age categories will get trophies and overall winners will receive cash prizes as well. A lively race village in the Al Forsan Park will offer a range of attractions including fun activations and entertainment for kids.
According to Anil Parri of Tristar: “Apart from serving the community wellbeing cause, the 3rd Tristar Half Marathon is scheduled before the Dubai Marathon 2026, so we are expecting a good number of registrations for the event. Those who will run the full marathon are fortunate to be practicing with us.”
