Luckily, Dubai just dropped the ultimate summer fitness hack, and it’s giving major Hot Girl Walk energy.
Say hello to Dubai Mallathon, a new month-long event that’s turning nine of the city’s coolest malls (hi, Dubai Mall and Mall of the Emirates 👋) into massive indoor walking and running tracks. No sweat – literally.
The seven malls will open their doors earlier than usual for runners and walkers. These include Dubai Mall, Dubai Hills Mall, the Springs Souk, City Centre Deira, City Centre Midriff, Mall of the Emirates, Dubai Festival City, Dubai Festival Plaza and Dubai Marina Mall.
Starting August 1st, you can hit the mall floors between 7 AM and 10 AM for 2.5km, 5km, or 10km walk or run, whatever feels right for your vibe. It’s totally free; all ages are welcome, and hydration stations are included because, yes, we care about electrolytes.
Launched by HH HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum (Dubai’s Crown Prince), the goal is simple: get the city moving without melting. And with a few cheeky discounts from cafes and stores thrown in? It’s basically a wellness-meets-retail dream.
All you have to do is register at dubaimallathon.ae, show up in your cutest workout fits, and walk or run your way into your wellness era.👟
