Sharjah24: On Sunday, 1 December, the Sharjah Sports Council will host the Kalba Half Marathon as part of the UAE's 53rd Eid Al Etihad festivities. Kalba's waterfront will host the community event, welcoming participants of all ages and nationalities and fostering a culture of sport as a way of life.
The race categories consist of the men's and women's citizens' divisions, along with an open category for the main event, which spans 21.1 km. There are also additional distances of 5 km and 2.5 km available, with online registration offered. 

The event commences at 6:30 am with the 21.1 km half-marathon, followed by the 10 km race 15 minutes later, and then the 5 km and 2.5 km runs. All participants will receive commemorative medals during the 8:30 am award ceremony.

Dr Yasser Omar Al-Dokhi, Director of the Sports and Community Events Department at the Sharjah Sports Council, emphasised the event as a celebration of athletes' happiness during Eid Al Etihad. He announced that winners across various categories will receive a total of AED 24,000 in prizes. The Eid Al Etihad logos, the event logo, and the emblem of the Sharjah Sports Council will adorn a unique shirt for participants. The commemorative medal, crafted to celebrate the occasion, features the UAE's national identity, Kalba’s iconic clock tower, and the council’s logo.
