The 2019 Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon is a few hours away! We did this preview podcast to psych you up! Weather is low 60s, a bit windy, but near perfection. A bevy of athletes, male and female, who want to prove themselves in this World Championship year, joined by 20,000 runners from around the Gulf States, Asia and Europe to run fast times on a fast course. Last year, seven men under 2:05 and four women under 2:19.
