The eighth edition of the Dubai Fitness Challenge (DFC) is set to commence on October 26, 2024, featuring an exciting lineup of fitness activities aimed at encouraging public participation and inspiring a more active lifestyle. Launched in 2017 under the leadership of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the initiative underscores Dubai’s ambition to become the world’s most active city.
DFC encourages the community to achieve health goals with a commitment to 30 minutes of daily physical activity over 30 days. Running from October 26 to November 24, 2024, the challenge will transform Dubai into a hub of fitness activities and events for all ages and abilities. Participants can look forward to a variety of options in fitness villages and community hubs, combining classic exercises with the latest trends.
A highlight this year includes the Dubai Run, where residents can choose between a 10km challenge or a relaxed 5km fun run, turning Sheikh Zayed Road into a massive running track. Registrations for this landmark event are now open.
