Dubai: The Dubai Sports Council has announced the launch of its "Our Summer is Sporty" initiative, which will run until the end of August.
The events will be held at various locations across Dubai, featuring a range of new and diverse activities, including the first-ever Snow Duathlon, indoor mall races, and snow-based stationary cycling competitions.
The initiative is being organised in collaboration with several national institutions and sports event organisers.
"Our Summer is Sporty" aims to promote a culture of physical activity and encourage all segments of society – residents and visitors of all ages and nationalities – to actively engage in summer sports. It serves as a pioneering community initiative to enhance the quality of life in Dubai and further cement its status as one of the most active cities in the world, according to the Emirates News Agency (WAM).
The initiative offers a wide variety of sports activities, including beach, snow, water, mountain, women’s and People of Determination events. It also features competitive tournaments, training camps, and recreational activities, providing an inclusive community platform.
