Paddleboarding at Hatta Dam

Get ready to lace up those sneakers—the Dubai Fitness Challenge is set to make a comeback later this month.

Scheduled from Saturday, October 26 to November 24, 2024, this 30-day event encourages you to engage in at least 30 minutes of exercise each day.

If you're eager to take on the challenge, there's no need to worry about monotonous gym sessions. The city offers a wide array of enjoyable activities you can participate in.

One such event will lead you to Dubai's exclave, the beautiful Hatta, for Dubai’s Stand Up Paddle (SUP).

Scheduled for Saturday, November 2, 2024, your 30×30 session will happen at the stunning Hatta Dam, where an exciting day of water-based fitness and fun awaits.

Let's be honest, it’s actually a 45-minute session for adults, providing you with 15 extra minutes to enjoy the scenery while burning calories. If you're bringing children over six or teenagers, their session is 30 minutes.

First-timers, don't fret! You can take it easy, while more experienced paddlers can challenge themselves near the majestic Hatta mountains.

There’s also safe and enjoyable training for kids, led by certified coaches.

Last year, the event attracted over 1,000 participants from across the UAE and beyond. The SUP boards are available for free on the day, so just bring your positivity and enthusiasm.

While you're there, you can also sign up for a complimentary one-hour kayak session, offered on a first-come, first-served basis to registered participants.

Those over 17 can have a single kayak, while under 17s must choose a double kayak and be accompanied by an adult.

That’s not all—you can also enjoy a 45-minute sunset yoga session amidst the rugged mountain backdrop.
