DUBAI, 23 October (BelTA - Emirates News Agency) - The eighth edition of the Dubai
Fitness Challenge (DFC) will kick off on 26th October 2024 with a
stunning array of fitness activities and experiences around the city
designed to increase public participation and motivate more people to
switch to an active lifestyle. Launched in 2017 under the patronage of
H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of
Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defence, and Chairman of Dubai
Executive Council, the hugely popular initiative showcases Dubai's
sustained efforts to be recognised as the world's most active city.
The DFC seeks to inspire the community to aim for incremental fitness goals and a healthier lifestyle by committing to 30 minutes of daily physical activity over a period of 30 days. Starting Saturday, 26th October 2024, Dubai will transform into one sprawling gym, hosting 30 action-packed days of fitness, fun, and community activities and events to enable everyone to achieve the 30x30 goals.
Running until Sunday, 24th November, DFC 2024 promises an unparalleled experience for everyone, regardless of age or ability. This year’s programme features an expanded range of workout options at fitness villages and community hubs across the city, in-person classes combining classic fitness trends as well as the latest fads, and mega events at iconic Dubai locations to inspire and get people moving. As always, the Dubai Run, presented by Mai Dubai, is one of the major highlights this year. Registrations are now open for this monumental event.
