Thousands flock to Expo City Dubai’s Sports & Fitness Weekend

Joining the Dubai Fitness Challenge action, Expo City Dubai welcomed more than 6,000 athletes of all ages and abilities to enjoy a heart-pounding weekend of sports, fitness and wellness on 12-13 November.

The return of the Expo Dubai Run (1,200 participants) and Expo Dubai Ride (500 participants) proved popular, while visitors also got stuck into a range of fun, challenging and invigorating events, including cycling in the clouds with a spinning class at Garden in the Sky; a soul-stirring yoga session at the Surreal water feature; and a massive Fitness First Jump event which saw around 600 adults and 500 children bouncing to new heights in a gravity-defying trampoline session.

The Sports & Fitness Weekend is the first of many fitness activations for Expo City Dubai, which advocates healthy communities and is a firm believer in the power of sport to inspire and unite people from diverse backgrounds.

The Dubai Fitness Challenge continues at various locations until 27 November and includes the Dubai Run on Sunday, 20 November.
