The sixth edition of the ADNOC Abu Dhabi Marathon brought together over 33,000 runners of all abilities, making it the largest event in the marathon’s history. Held on Saturday, December 14, the marathon was organised by the Abu Dhabi Sports Council and ADNOC, featuring five race categories: the full marathon, marathon relay, 10 km, 5 km, and 2.5 km distances.

His Excellency Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, UAE Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology, officially inaugurated the event by giving the starting signal for the marathon and 10 km races. He also crowned the winners, alongside sports leaders, partners, and representatives of partner organisations.

In the men’s marathon, Ethiopia’s Chala Ketema Regasa claimed victory, finishing in 2:06:16 hours, narrowly missing his personal best of 2:06:11. Djibouti’s Ibrahim Hassan Bouh followed in second place at 2:06:33, with Kenya’s Wilfred Kirwa Kigen taking third in 2:06:47.
