The bib expo for the Dhiraagu Maldives Road Race (DMRR) 2026 has officially opened, as runners prepare for what Dhiraagu describes as the largest run in the Maldives.
The expo is being held at the BG Turf Ground, next to Dhiraagu’s head office in Malé. Participants can collect their bib and race kit from 10am to 12pm, 2pm to 6pm and 8pm to 10pm, until 17 November.
Separate counters have been set up for 5K, 10K and half-marathon runners. Participants must present their ID card or passport to collect their kit.
After collecting their bib, runners can use the Bib Scan station at the expo to check that they have the correct bib.
They can also download the official app, which will show live race tracking and running times that can be shared with friends and family.
Besides kit collection, the expo features food, drinks and goodies at partner stalls, along with exclusive offers. Visitors can take photos at the DMRR photo spot and find their name on the Runners’ Wall.
This year’s race is supporting the cause “Help Protect Children”. Twelve partner NGOs have stalls at the expo, where visitors can learn about their work.
DMRR 2026 will take place on Friday, 20 November, at Central Park in Hulhumalé.
Ahead of race day, Dhiraagu has named Island Runners Maldives as one of its official coaching partners. They are offering a free personalised training programme to help participants prepare.
Dhiraagu has also been sharing safety and preparation tips. These include encouraging first-time runners to start at a comfortable pace, and urging participants to avoid single-use plastic water bottles.
