The event set a vibrant tone for the month-long fitness initiative, with riders of all ages and abilities pedaling past iconic landmarks like the Museum of the Future and Burj Khalifa.

The event truly captured the spirit of DFC's "Find Your Challenge" theme, demonstrating that fitness is for everyone.

TRAIN LIKE AN OLYMPIC MEDALLIST!

Participants chose between two scenic routes to match their skill level. A family-friendly 4km loop through Downtown Dubai offered young riders and families a chance to cycle together, while a 12km route on Sheikh Zayed Road provided a longer challenge for more experienced cyclists.

Saeed Hareb, Secretary General of Dubai Sports Council, commented on the event's success: “Witnessing 40,327 cyclists come together this morning was a powerful reminder of what makes Dubai truly special.

The energy and dedication we witnessed today continues to grow year after year, demonstrating our community's commitment to embracing active living.”

The atmosphere was electric, with live entertainment bringing the routes to life. Drummers, marching bands, and cheerleading squads lined the course, while mascots Modesh and Dana greeted families.
