Dubai: In exactly 1 month the Dubai Fitness Challenge (DFC) will launch, encouraging residents to commit to 30 minutes of exercise every day for 30 days. The goal is to transform Dubai into the most active city in the world.
DFC is the flagship fitness movement Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of Dubai Sports Council, launched in 2017. This year, DFC is returning and will be held from October 18 to November 16.
The vision for the Dubai Fitness Challenge is to create a truly inclusive movement across the city and the wider UAE, to sustainably enhance the health and long-term well-being of people of all ages, abilities and levels of fitness.
DFC heralds a 30-day programme of activities, exciting fitness events and wellness-focused entertainment to keep Dubai up and on its feet. It not only cultivates fitness-focused mindsets but also inspires Dubai’s residents to work towards a common goal of maintaining healthier, active lifestyles in the long run.
