Riders and runners will gather in Dubai on Sunday, November 5, for the Dubai South Ride and Dubai South Run – as part of the ongoing Dubai Fitness Challenge.
Organisers said these two events will not only contribute to the city’s continuing drive for health and wellness, but will also give participants the opportunity to explore the growing Dubai South community.
Dubai South Ride: Choose Your Route
The Dubai South Ride will kick off at 7 AM from the Dubai South HQ Building, with cyclists slated to take the flat and open roads around the area of Al Maktoum International Airport.
Participants can either opt for the 40 km route or push their limits with the more demanding 80 km course.
Dubai South Run: Multiple Route Choices
The Dubai South Run, meanwhile, will start at 4.30 PM – also from the Dubai South HQ Building.
The flat and fast course surrounding Dubai South has various options, including 3 km, 5 km, and 10 km routes. The entry fee is Dh50 per person.
Ahmed Al Khaja, CEO of Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment (DFRE), said Dubai Fitness Challenge aims to promote a healthier future for Dubai residents and visitors by inspiring individuals to embrace a more active lifestyle, fostering a culture of fitness and well-being for all.
“Join us as we ride, run, and unite in our pursuit of a vibrant, energetic society, where every step and pedal propel us towards a brighter, fitter tomorrow,” he said.
Registration is now open for both events, with participants encouraged to secure their spots early. To register or find more information about Dubai South Ride and Run at Dubai Fitness Challenge website.
