Profile
The Dubai Marathon (official name Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon) is an annual marathon running race held in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates.
The race is held in January each year, the first being run on 14 January 2000. In April 2007, it was announced that the 2008 race would become the world’s richest long distance running event in history, with one million dollars offered for a world record and $250,000 for first place for both the men and women.
The 2008 race was won by Haile Gebrselassie in a time of 2:04:53, making it the second fastest marathon of all time, but not fast enough to claim a world record and the million dollar prize.
