Abu Dhabi's 6,000 Daily Steps Challenge

Abu Dhabi residents have embarked on a daily journey of 6,000 steps as part of the "First Steps" challenge initiated by Active Abu Dhabi.

This health challenge, conducted in partnership with Emirates Foundation and PureHealth, encourages a daily commitment to physical activity.

Community members of all fitness levels are welcome to participate in the challenge – which offers optional side challenges to improve the walking experience.

The 14-day event is being held at Umm Al Emarat Park in Abu Dhabi until March 31.

The event, which kicked off on March 18, is open from 4pm to 11pm daily.

Active Abu Dhabi’s First Steps walk challenge includes a 6,000-step daily challenge – 3,000 of which are achievable at Umm Al Emarat Park’s 1.2km walking route.

The challenge comes with optional add-on daily challenges that will give participants the opportunity to “elevate their walking journey”.

Add-on challenges are available at the Active Abu Dhabi Information Desk on site.
