The much-awaited fitness event of the year, Dubai Fitness Challenge (DFC), is set to come back for its seventh edition on Saturday, October 28. The month-long fitness challenge will run through to Sunday, November 26. Initiative of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai Crown Prince and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai, DFC saw a record number of 2.2 million participants last year in its sixth edition.
Dubai Ride, which attracted nearly 35,000 cyclists last year, will be held on Sunday, 12 November, and Dubai Run will conclude the DFC on 26 November. Both events will offer families, recreational cyclists, runners and fitness enthusiasts the unique opportunity to experience cycling, running, jogging, or walking past iconic landmarks on Sheikh Zayed Road.
Launched in 2017, DFC aims to transform Dubai into one of the world's most active cities. It encourages people across all age groups to build a healthier lifestyle by devoting at least 30 minutes of exercise daily for 30 days, with an action-packed calendar of activities and events.
Daily activities, events and other initiatives, including details of how to register for this year’s challenge, will be available over the coming weeks.
