Dubai has again created history with its creative fitness campaign. Launched on August 1, Dubai Mallathon officially secured a Guinness World Record title for the Most Runners in a Mall Run event. Thus, it is a proud milestone for the emirate and its community.

Together, you set a new world record and made our community proud. Dubai is proud of YOU. And today, your pride has been recorded in history… A true reflection of your unity, resolution, and the spirit of our city.
A Vision by Sheikh Hamdan
Dubai Crown Prince Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum is leading this new initiative. However, he has always promoted health, wellness, and group fitness in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Now, this marathon has converted some of the most iconic shopping malls in Dubai into indoor running tracks every morning from 7 am to 10 am.
Some malls even opened as early as 6 am to welcome runners and meet growing demand. In addition, the campaign is providing runners with fully equipped running and walking pathways across seven major malls. The following is the list of those malls:
- Dubai Mall
- Dubai Hills Mall
- City Centre Deira
- City Centre Mirdif
- Mall of the Emirates
- Dubai Marina Mall
- The Springs Souk
Dubai Mallathon Is A Community-Driven Fitness Movement
The Dubai Mallathon was more than just a fitness challenge. This is because it is a community movement where thousands of residents and citizens use the idea of air-conditioned and climate-controlled spaces to stay active during the intense summer months. So, the campaign encourages people of all ages to prioritize health in a secure and accessible environment.
This innovative campaign shows the dedication of the city to create a healthier lifestyle and boost community wellbeing. In addition, it showcases how the emirate continuously redefines the global benchmark in lifestyle and community engagement.
Dubai Mallathon: A Milestone of Unity, Innovation, and Community Spirit
