Sharjah Ladies Run 2026 takes place on Saturday, 24 January 2026, running from 6:00pm to 10:00pm at Al Seyouh Ladies Park, Al Seyouh 4, Al Siyuh Suburb, Sharjah. For participant support, you can call 050 208 4508, or reach Sharjah Ladies Club on +971 6 50 67777, with WhatsApp support on +971 56 218 1130. This is a women-only evening run, and organisers welcome women and girls aged 12 and above. Registration runs through the SLC App, so you should keep your confirmation ready on your phone.
A Sharjah run built around community energy
Sharjah Ladies Run has grown into a yearly moment where fitness meets a supportive social vibe, and it keeps the focus on women’s participation in a safe setting. Organisers frame it as more than a race, so you typically see warm-ups, group activities, and a lively finish area that feels like a community night out. Meanwhile, the 2026 theme leans into a future-styled concept called Into the Virtual Universe, which shapes the look and feel of the evening. Because it runs after sunset, many participants treat it as a stress-free milestone rather than a performance test. It suits first-timers and regular runners alike, as long as you arrive early and pace yourself.
What the 2026 edition highlights on the course
Organiser material puts a clear spotlight on a 5 km race, and it adds competitive motivation with prizes for top finishers. The published prize structure for the 5 km lists AED 7,000 for first place, AED 5,000 for second, and AED 3,000 for third, so competitive runners can treat it seriously while others simply enjoy the atmosphere. Additionally, the club messaging ties the event to sustainability touches, including recycled race materials and recycling stations, which fits the wider UAE shift toward greener events. If you care about the vibe as much as the timing, this edition aims to feel fresh without losing its community heart.
Entry rules and who it suits best
Because organisers set it as a women-focused event, it works best for participants who want a comfortable environment and a supportive crowd (suitable for solo, suitable for couples who both participate). It is not designed as a mixed-family spectator outing, so plan it as a participant-first evening rather than a general park festival. Meanwhile, the age note of 12+ matters, so guardians should confirm eligibility before travelling with younger girls. If you want a relaxed experience, arrive with enough time for check-in and warm-up, then treat the run as your own pace moment.
Registration and budget planning in AED
Organiser documentation lists the registration fee as AED 170 excluding VAT, and it directs sign-ups through the SLC App. At the same time, recent club updates have said registration remains open, so availability may depend on capacity and cut-offs set inside the app. Treat the fee as approximately, because VAT handling and late changes can shift what you see at checkout. Also, if you registered earlier, organisers had scheduled race-pack collection during the week, so you should bring your confirmation and ask the help desk if you still need to collect essentials. Keep your phone charged, because app-based entry details can become your fastest support tool onsite.
Getting there from Dubai and other Emirates
Al Seyouh sits inland in Sharjah, so most participants arrive by car, and that usually feels simpler than trying to piece together public transport late in the evening. From Dubai, Ajman, or Umm Al Quwain, plan your drive to arrive before 5:30pm, because check-in and parking flow can slow down as the start window approaches. Meanwhile, Abu Dhabi visitors often prefer leaving mid-afternoon, then returning after the run to avoid the heaviest border-time congestion. Taxis and ride-hailing can also work well for a door-to-park drop-off, especially if you want to skip parking loops. If you come in a group, carpooling often reduces stress and speeds up arrival.
Traffic, parking, and weather notes for tonight
Sharjah’s weather this evening looks comfortable, with cloud cover and temperatures easing from about 21°C around 6:00pm to about 20°C by 9:00pm, so light sportswear works, while a thin layer helps after the finish. Because the run starts in an evening window, you should expect tighter entry lanes close to the park around the last hour before start time, and you should also allow extra time for parking and exit queues after 10:00pm. If you plan to drive, arrive earlier and keep your route flexible, and if you plan to use a taxi, request your pickup point before the crowd builds. Registration typically shows approximately AED 170 excluding VAT, and the safest route remains SLC APP REGISTRATION, since organisers can adjust access rules. Arrive early, because late arrivals often miss the smoothest check-in window. Finally, in the practical, on-the-ground tone the editor at www.few.ae tends to favour, this run goes best when you plan your arrival like an appointment and treat the race as a celebration, not a rush.
