Dubai Fitness Challenge to return in November

The month-long Dubai Fitness Challenge that transforms the Emirate into a city-wide gym will return for its ninth edition in November with a flagship sunset yoga event to wrap things up.

It will kick off on November 1, with a brand new logo that reflects Dubai's "bold, inspiring and inclusive spirit". 

The challenge, which encourages residents to stay active for 30 minutes a day for 30 days, has attracted over 13 million participants across its eight editions.

It was launched by His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Defence of the UAE, and Chairman of the Executive Council of Dubai, in 2017.

Other flagship events like the Dubai Ride (November 2), Dubai Stand-Up Paddle (November 8-9) and Dubai Run (November 23) will return.
