(MENAFNEditorial) Dubai, UAE - October 10: This November, women across the UAE will lace up for an unforgettable journey when the Women’s Epic Arabia - the region’s first and only trail running series created exclusively for women - returns on November 1, 2025.

This exclusive and high-profile event will be held at the stunning Lapita, Dubai Parks and Resorts, with support from the Dubai Sports Council and managed by CAB Sports.

What makes Women’s Epic truly special is its origin. Born in the mountains of Utah, the Women’s Epic was created to give women their own space on the trails, a place to push limits, discover strength and celebrate every finish line. Today, that same mission lives on in Dubai: to bridge the gap for women in the running world and give more ladies the chance to feel the high of crossing a finish line, perhaps for the very first time-ever.

“Too many women have never had the opportunity to experience what happens when you leave your comfort zone, dig deep and cross that finish line,” said Hannah Hall, Event Marketing for Women’s Epic Arabia.

“Women’s Epic is proud to be changing that. We’re determined to empower women in the UAE to take their first step onto the trail and discover just how unstoppable they truly are,” she added.
This year’s event will offer accessible distances for all runners: a welcoming 1km to get started, the adventurous 5km and 10km challenges, and a bold 20km race set for future editions on more demanding terrains. At the heart of the experience is the signature Women’s Epic Bell that runners ring at each milestone kilometre, marking their progress with sound and strength.

Eisa Sharif, Director, Events Department at Dubai Sports Council (DSC) was thrilled to see Dubai once again at the forefront of a new initiative, especially for women. “We have been led by the vision of our benevolent leaders who have always been keen to encourage us towards fresh challenges. Having an event of this stature definitely raises the profile for women sports in Dubai, in the UAE and in the Middle East,” Eisa Sharif noted.

“Entries have been filling up as a brisk pace, and we are confident of a superb experience for all participants next month,” he promised.

After the race, participants can recharge and connect in style at the Polynesian-inspired Lapita, Dubai Parks and Resorts, enjoying its relaxing facilities and vibrant atmosphere. Family-friendly experiences (such as the Kids Club and Tiki House), along with wellness offerings, are part of the broader positioning for staying at Lapita. These experiences are available to all guests and are not tied to a specific offer for Women’s Epic participants. The goal is to highlight the added value of staying at this tantalizing venue, especially for families and those looking for a well-rounded experience during their visit.
