Riyadh's Sports Boulevard Launches 'Walking Track' & RIYDE for Ramadan

To promote a culture of health and physical activity, the Sports Boulevard has collaborated with Al Nakheel Mall in Riyadh to introduce the "Walking Track" initiative during the sacred month of Ramadan.

This initiative at the mall includes a 506-meter walking track, promoting walking as a daily habit for Riyadh's residents and visitors, equivalent to around 750 steps.

Part of the Sports Boulevard's mission is to boost community well-being and highlight the advantages of regular physical activity.

It supports the project's goals of offering top-notch facilities and encouraging a healthy, sustainable lifestyle.

Since its recent launch, the initiative has attracted a large number of participants, showing a rising interest in embracing walking as a beneficial routine among community members.

Enhancing Riyadh's fitness scene, the Sports Boulevard also features RIYDE, an interactive cycling experience that uses advanced technology to replicate cycling routes virtually.

This allows participants to explore various terrains and compete in an immersive setting.

Following its initial success, RIYDE now features a virtual 5.24km route designed to cater to varying levels of fitness, offering a 10-15 minute cycling adventure.

Participants can also use virtual reality technology to preview the transformative impact of the completed Sports Boulevard project on Riyadh.

This immersive experience not only promotes cycling as a form of exercise but also serves as a glimpse into the future development of the city.

Ahmed Bin Askar, chief of communications at the Sports Boulevard Foundation, highlighted the initiatives' role in promoting healthier lifestyles and engaging the community in sports.

"We are dedicated to improving the quality of life in Riyadh by encouraging residents and visitors to make healthier choices and actively participate in sports and community activities," he stated.
