Dubai Warms Up for 2010 Marathon
Dubai will play host to a major event in January that could make the city a popular winter holiday destination among sports fans.
The 2010 Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon will take place on January 22nd.
People staying in cheap hotels in Dubai will be able to gather along the seafront to watch the event.
The route passes iconic landmarks including the Burj Al Arab hotel and runs close to the Mall of the Emirates, the Wild Wadi water park, Souk Madinat Jumeirah and other leading attractions.
For the past two years, the men's race has been won by long-distance running legend Haile Gebrselassie.
The athlete will once again be competing in the event in 2010.
Marathon director Peter Connerton said: "There are few, if any, greater names in athletics history than Haile Gebrselassie so once again we are proud and delighted that he has chosen to make his next marathon appearance in Dubai."
