The Protocol

AN EASY 45 MINUTES THAT MAKES EVERY OTHER SESSION BETTER.

Pace Run is our Friday morning give-back — a completely free run club that meets at SALT on Kite Beach before the city wakes up. We warm up together, cover 5 to 8km at an easy zone 2/3 pace, then cool down and stretch as a group. No pressure, no drop-offs, no one left behind. Seasoned marathoners and first-week runners line up side by side, and coaches run the pack so everybody finishes with a conversation still in them. Lace up, bring a friend, and start your Friday properly.

What To Expect

Inside The Session.

01

PHASE 01 · MEET AT SALT

We gather outside SALT on Kite Beach at 6:00am sharp. Quick hello, quick brief, pace groups sorted so nobody runs alone.

02

PHASE 02 · DYNAMIC WARM-UP

A short mobility and activation block — leg swings, openers and strides — so the first kilometre doesn't feel like a punishment.

03

PHASE 03 · THE RUN

45 minutes of easy, conversational zone 2/3 running along the beachfront. Five to eight kilometres depending on your pace group. Coaches run with the pack front and back.

04

PHASE 04 · COOL-DOWN & STRETCH

We finish where we started with a proper cool-down and stretch, then most of the group stays for coffee. This part matters as much as the run.

The Fine Print

FAQ.

01 IS IT REALLY FREE?
Yes. No membership, no drop-in fee, no catch. Pace Run is how we give back to the Dubai running community.
02 I'M NOT A RUNNER. CAN I STILL COME?
Absolutely. We split into pace groups and a coach runs with the back of the pack every week. Walk-run intervals are completely fine.
03 HOW FAR WILL I ACTUALLY RUN?
Between 5 and 8km, depending on your group. The clock is fixed at 45 minutes — the distance is whatever your easy pace covers in that time.
04 WHERE EXACTLY DO WE MEET?
Outside SALT on Kite Beach, 6:00am. Come five minutes early so we can start on time and finish before the heat.
