Radisson Hotels And Asics Kick Off Dubai Fitness Challenge

Posted by

Radisson Blu Hotel Dubai Waterfront and ASICS will bring Dubai’s running community together for a morning designed around movement, community and the simple joy of getting out and running. The activation will mark the start of the 10th edition of Dubai Fitness Challenge (DFC), bringing together up to 230 runners for 6 km route.

Leading the run will be ASICS Front Runners, who will join forces with 3F Striders, one of Dubai’s run clubs, to bring the community together on the course. Whether it is a regular weekend ritual or a first attempt at running with a group, the format is designed to give participants the chance to find their pace, meet fellow runners and start the challenge together.

The morning will go beyond the kilometres. Participants will have the opportunity to experience the ASICS Gait Lab and shoe trial, bringing ASICS’ running expertise closer to the community and giving runners a chance to explore the footwear behind their performance.

And once the run is over, the pace slows down. Radisson Blu Hotel Dubai Waterfront will host the post-run experience, giving participants a chance to stretch, recover and refuel after their morning on the move. A dedicated OneShot Hydration station will also be positioned along the route to keep runners refreshed from start to finish.

The event takes place as DFC marks its tenth edition from 31 October to 29 November 2026. An initiative of His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defence and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai, DFC invites everyone to commit to 30 minutes of daily activity for 30 days. Under this year’s theme, ‘What’s your 30×30?’, the Radisson Blu x ASICS Run offers participants an opportunity to kick-start their Challenge, connect with Dubai’s running community and build healthy habits beyond the 30 days.

Set against the backdrop of Dubai Canal, the run will take runners along the waterfront from Radisson Blu Hotel, Dubai Waterfront, offering runners a scenic route through one of the city’s most recognisable urban landscapes. With the canal views providing the backdrop, the morning brings together the energy of a community run with the atmosphere of Dubai’s waterfront, before runners return to the hotel to recover, refuel and enjoy the post-run experience.

With only 230 places available, registration for the Radisson Hotels x ASICS Run will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
