Dhiraagu Unveils 14th Edition of Dhiraagu Maldives Road Race: Half Marathon Introduced, Enhanced Prizes and Social Impact

Dhiraagu, the leading telecommunications provider in the Maldives, has officially unveiled the much-anticipated 14th edition of the Dhiraagu Maldives Road Race (DMRR). The event is scheduled to take place on October 27, 2023 (Friday) at Central Park, Hulhumale'. DMRR, which stands as the largest and most iconic run in the Maldives, continues to inspire runners and communities from across the nation and beyond.

This year's DMRR promises to be a remarkable affair, marked by exciting novelties and meaningful contributions. In an exhilarating announcement, Dhiraagu shared that the 2023 edition will witness the introduction of a half marathon category, an addition that is set to amplify the thrill and challenge for participants. Moreover, participants can anticipate an augmented prize pool, adding an extra layer of motivation to their runs.

Mohamed Mirshan Hassan, Director of Brand and Marketing Communications at Dhiraagu, expressed the company's enthusiasm: "DMRR's legacy dates back to 2007, as it pioneered mass participation races, setting the trend for running in the Maldives. This year, we're unveiling an entirely new route, an electrifying half marathon, and a day filled with exhilarating events and diverse activities."

Beyond its athletic significance, DMRR continues to serve as a potent platform for social impact. Aligned with Dhiraagu's strong commitment to corporate social responsibility, this year's event holds child protection as its focal cause. The run will offer NGOs specializing in child protection an avenue to raise awareness and funds for their vital missions. Dhiraagu will award five equal grants to the top five endorsed NGOs, nominated by participants during registration. A portion of the proceeds from each participant's registration and special bib number sales will also be dedicated to these endorsed partner NGOs, further amplifying their efforts.

Registrations for DMRR will open tomorrow and close on August 30, 2023, or when the cap of 4,000 participants is reached. Runners and fitness enthusiasts are encouraged to secure their spots early for this grand celebration of athleticism and social change.
