Not familiar with it? The Dubai Fitness Challenge, launched in 2017 by His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, aims to transform Dubai into one of the healthiest cities in the world.

Over the years, the event has attracted over 13 million participants, proving its success in bringing communities together to promote health and well-being. 

Here’s how it works: participants commit to exercising for 30 minutes each day for 30 days (hence the 30x30).

The challenge is open to everyone, and various community events across the city allow people of all ages and backgrounds to come together, fostering a culture of fitness and vitality. 

His Excellency Khalfan Belhoul, Vice Chairman of the Dubai Sports Council and CEO of the Dubai Future Foundation, emphasized the community’s role in DFC’s success, stating, "The passion, energy, and commitment of our community have been instrumental in making the Dubai Fitness Challenge a citywide movement.

With 2025 being the UAE’s Year of Community, I’m confident this year’s edition will once again unite people in the pursuit of a healthier, more active lifestyle."
