The Zayed Charity Run, known in the United States as the UAE Healthy Kidney Run, first expanded to New York in 2005, where it has since remained one of the city’s most popular charitable runs.

Organized in partnership with the National Kidney Foundation and the UAE Embassy in Washington, D.C., all proceeds from the event are dedicated to supporting kidney research.

Now, the “kindest run in the world” is returning to the United States, taking place in Miami, Florida, on 31 January 2026.

This meaningful charity event continues to reflect the enduring friendship between the UAE and the USA, as well as the UAE’s steadfast commitment to humanitarian and health causes worldwide.
