From Snow Duathlons to Mall Marathons: Dubai’s Summer of Sport Is On

At Ski Dubai, it's all about staying cool while turning up the cardio. The season kicks off with the city’s first-ever Snow Duathlon on June 29, followed by snow spinning, snow yoga, and even adaptive skiing sessions. A special snow walk for senior citizens and a women-only snow hike round out a refreshingly frosty calendar.

Prefer rock to ice? The Hatta mountains are calling. Trail running, kayaking, sunset yoga, and guided night walks offer the perfect excuse to escape the city, and the heat. For those who prefer air conditioning, indoor sports sessions will also take place in purpose-built halls across the region.

And for the urbanites, there are races in the most Dubai way possible: inside malls. Runners can loop around air-conditioned icons like Mall of the Emirates, Dubai Hills Mall, and Wafi Mall on weekends. With dedicated sessions for women, senior citizens, and People of Determination, this summer’s fitness programme aims to be as inclusive as it is energetic.
