2019 Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon Presser Picture shows: (Left to right) Peter Connerton (Event Director), Ahmed Al Kamali (Event General Co-ordinator) Rola Abu Manneh (Standard Chartered Bank UAE, CEO), H.E Saeed Hareb (Secretary General, Dubai Sports Council), athlete and broadcaster Paula Radcliffe, and Guye Adola, the fastest man in the line-up for Friday’s race.

Held on the first floor of the Dubai Hilton, the 2019 Standard Chartered Dubai Marathon was a chance for the sponsors to be feted by the marathon team and the press. Dubai Marathon has awarded $12 million plus to elite athletes over the past 20 years. We have provided a video of the entire official presser session, and the Q&A from Pat Butcher, who co hosts the Live streaming on Friday. The weather should be cool, with perhaps a protective layer of fog. US viewers will see it on Thursday night, as we are nine hours ahead of NYC, 10 hours of Chicago and 12 hours ahead of the left Coast.

Sorry on the iphone movement in video. I get a bit jumpy during videos.
