Scores of residents to join Burj2Burj Half-Marathon

Scores of Dubai residents registered for upcoming 21.1km Burj2Burj 2026 Half-Marathon which will be on Feb.8, from Jumeirah Emirates Towers to Sunset Beach, running past city’s most recognisable landmarks.

The Forex.com, part of StoneX Group, has announced as the official online trading partner as it reflects a shared commitment to long-term performance, discipline, and resilience, values that define both endurance sport and successful trading.

The partnership brings to life Forex.com’s three-pillar promise to traders: to provide them with a robust, trusted trading infrastructure; to foster a mindset focused on long-term performance rather than on short-term noise; and to stand alongside them in environments that value preparation, endurance, and results.

Commenting on the partnership, Ritu Singh, Regional Director, StoneX Financial LTD, said: “Partnering with Dubai’s Iconic Half-Marathon - Burj2Burj reflects what Forex.com stands for: long-term performance, discipline, and resilience.”

“Whether in markets or in sport, success is built through preparation, consistency, and trust, and Burj2Burj perfectly embodies those values. As part of StoneX Group, a global financial services organisation with decades of market experience, we are deeply committed to Dubai and the wider region, continuously supporting initiatives that champion growth, excellence, and responsible participation while bringing together community, excellence, and ambition.”

From his end, Warrick Mac Nicol, Founder & CEO, Worlds Iconic, commented: “We are thrilled to partner with Forex.com as our Official Online Trading Partner for the 2026 Burj2Burj half-marathon. We view this relationship as a key strategic move as we look to explore new, innovative ways to elevate the overall runner experience. We are incredibly grateful to FOREX.com for their trust in us, and we look forward to growing together in the years to come.”

As part of the partnership, Forex.com will actively celebrate achievement and excellence by prizing first-place finishers across three race categories - Elite, Age Group (Overall), and Emirati - recognising outstanding performance at the highest level. Six first-place finishers, both males and females, will be awarded the StoneX 100 Year Silver Coin, a meaningful symbol of endurance, legacy, and long-term value.
