After serious March injury, Nabeel trained hard three weeks before the run
For 32-year-old Indian expat Nabeel C, running the Dubai Run has been a yearly tradition. But this year, after a serious knee injury in March that required surgery and months of recovery, participating seemed almost impossible.
Determined not to miss his favourite Dubai Fitness Challenge event, Nabeel set out on a focused journey of physiotherapy, workouts and mental preparation – resulting in a triumphant 5 km run on Sheikh Zayed Road today.
“I suffered a serious injury in March while playing football and was on bed rest until June,” said Nabeel, who hails from Kerala.
A regular participant in the Dubai Run for the past six years, he was disheartened when DFC 2025 was announced.
