The annual Sharjah Ladies Run is going virtual this year, in the wake of the COVID-19 outbreak and the need for social distancing. Now in its seventh edition, this years run combines online coaching sessions through the Sharjah Ladies Clubs Instagram account and website.

The virtual run aims to promote UAE residents and their families to take part and run for a good cause, to highlight the need for leading a wholesome and active lifestyle. Between November 26th and 28th, entrants can take part in the virtual run in three different categories - 5km and 10km along with 2.5km family-run category, striving to get parents, kids, and friends involved in this great event.

The participants who have finished the race and received their results will enter a raffle draw to win wonderful prizes offered by Sharjah Ladies Club and the sponsors of the virtual run. The members must register through the SLC app, and can choose their preferred location, as long as they choose a day to make the necessary distance within the three-day window.
