Sharjah: The Flag Island, Sharjah’s popular tourist and leisure destination, has tied up with Sharjah Sports Council (SSC) in collaboration with Sharjah Triathlon to organise a 3-km recreational race on June 23.
The race that is meant to promote health and fitness among residents will be held on the jogging track at the Flag Island before Iftar on Friday.
The fun run is meant to attract all segments of society and is part of a community sports initiative organised by the Flag Island under the slogan ‘Exercising before Iftar’.
The Flag Island is keen to underscore the importance of walking and jogging in Sharjah in an attempt to encourage and motivate everyone to a healthy life. “This race aligns with our commitment of organising sporting events, which benefit all segments of society. Exercise should be an important aspect of our lives, with the month of Ramadan lending a special ambience to physical activity. We were delighted to provide everyone with an opportunity to participate in the fun run, which we hope encourages them to adopt a healthy lifestyle,” Khulood Al Junaibi, The Flag Island Manager, said.
“Going by the response we have been getting, this activity will be an annual event at The Flag Island,” she added.
The Flag Island has recently expanded its infrastructure to receive more sportspersons and those who wish to exercise outdoors, as well as those wanting to participate in the variety of activities that are held at the venue. The destination inaugurated a new 600-metre jogging track, which is made from premium sustainable materials to the highest international standards.
