Brooks x 530 Run - Abu Dhabi Edition
October 11, 2026.
NEW CITY. SAME COMMUNITY. RUN HAPPY.
After kicking things off in Dubai, Brooks and 530 Run Club took the run to the capital.
More than 40 runners joined us for our first Abu Dhabi edition: an early start, an easy 6K and plenty of coffee afterwards.
A MORNING ON THE RUN
We met at 321 Sport at 6:30 AM, just as the city was waking up. Led by the 530 pacers, the group set off as one, with no pace groups, no watches to chase and nobody left behind.
That’s the idea behind every 530 run: one pace, one group, 6K of good conversation. First-timers ran alongside regulars, and by the final kilometre it was hard to tell who was who.
FROM THE RUN TO THE COFFEE SHOP
No run is complete without the coffee. The group headed to Essere Sano Café to refuel, swap stories and make plans for the next one. For many of us, this is the part of club life we look forward to most.
The run brings everyone together, but the conversations afterwards are often just as enjoyable.
TWO LUCKY RUNNERS. TWO PAIRS OF BROOKS.
We also had something extra for the community: a giveaway featuring two pairs of Brooks running shoes.
Two lucky attendees were selected as winners, giving them the chance to take home a new pair of Brooks and put some fresh miles on their next runs.
Congratulations to both winners, and thank you to everyone who took part!
