Dubai: With fitspo sweeping across Dubai, action sports brand XDubai is taking fitness one step further by announcing three new Dubai Fitness Challenge events — Pump It, Rise with Us and the X3 Junior Triathlon — for athletes of all abilities and interests.
Set for this Friday and Saturday between 12pm and 7pm during the Dubai Fitness Challenge Weekend Carnival at Skydive Dubai, the action-oriented Pump It will challenge skateboarders, BMXers and those who scooter to break convention and their own personal best time as they navigate a course in front of carnival attendees.
Hosted by XDubai athlete and professional BMXer, Ola Selsjord, the event is free to skateboarders, BMXers and scooter riders of all ages and abilities. Participants are required to bring their own ride, and registration will take place on site each day. In addition to competing for glory, prizes will also be up for grabs across a number of categories.
Also taking place during the Dubai Fitness Challenge Weekend Carnival at Skydive Dubai is Rise with Us, an exclusive sunrise yoga session with international yoga guru Suneel Singh set for Saturday. Kicking off at 6am, the event will see over 1,000 yogis welcome the morning with sun salutations from the runway of Skydive Dubai.
With initial registration to the free event reaching capacity within a matter of days, XDubai is announcing a new allocation of tickets for those who were unable to book earlier.
Completing the line-up of new XDubai events set to take place during the Dubai Fitness Challenge is the X3 Junior Triathlon presented by Lacnor, scheduled for the penultimate day of the Dubai Fitness Challenge on November 17 between 6am and 10am on Kite Beach.
Designed for youth between the ages of four and 16, the event will see young athletes compete in one of six age categories — and course lengths — across swimming, cycling and running. A fun family affair, the event will include a race festival designed to entertain and celebrate competitors and their families. Registration for the event will open soon and can be made through the XDubai website.
