If you’ve already got Burj2Burj on your 2027 calendar, you’re in good company. There is a specific kind of magic that happens when thousands of runners take over the city for one of the most anticipated mornings of the year. But before the training blocks and the early morning long runs begin, there’s the small matter of the "Entry."
‍

The big question we often get is: “When should I actually sign up?”
‍

The short answer is that you can buy your entry whenever it feels right for you. We want the process to be as comfortable and stress-free as possible. However, if you’re looking for the best value and want to clear your head for training, earlier is almost always better.
‍

Understanding the Sales Timeline

Our entries move in distinct stages. Think of it like a countdown. Once one window closes, the next opens with an increase in price. If you already know you’re going to be standing at that start line, locking it in early means you won’t have to think about it again.

It’s the peace of mind knowing your spot’s locked in early. We sold out last year, and it’s only a matter of time before it happens again.

Here is how the Burj2Burj 2027 sales timeline breaks down:

‍Why Do We Move in Stages?

It isn't just about the date on the calendar. Moving in stages helps our team behind the scenes ensure we provide a premium, 5 star experience for every single runner. From finalising the number of technical shirts to ensuring the hydration stations are perfectly stocked, these windows help us build the race you deserve.

Previous participants consistently tell us that having that confirmation email sitting in their inbox early acts as the ultimate "contract" with themselves. It is a commitment to the goal, and it usually results in a much more relaxed training block.

The Bottom Line

Whether you join us during the General Sale or wait until the Last Minute Sale, the experience at the finish line remains the same: iconic. But if you want to save a bit of budget for some fresh race day shoes, our advice is to grab your spot during the General Sale.

Once you are in, you can stop checking the dates and start focusing on the miles.

See you at the start.
