Dubai Holding has launched a series of inspirational video stories to highlight the #MyCity_MyRace campaign, which aims to calls on male and female Emiratis with different fitness levels to participate in the Dubai Marathon’s categories: 10KM, 42KM, and Wheel Chair. This initiative is driven by Dubai Holding’s ongoing commitment to increasing involvement of Emiratis and the community as a whole in wellness programmes across the UAE. It is also a key part of the Group’s drive to positively influence attitudes towards sports, especially within the growing younger generation, so that they adopt healthier lifestyles.

In this video, meet Abeer Alkhaja, Emirati personal trainer and the Manager of Media Section at Dubai Sports Council. Alkhaja takes us through her five-year transformation; how her perseverance, dedication and hard work led her to run and complete the 10km race. As a young female Emirati, Abeer is calling for Emirati’s to proudly come together to represent their nation this globally renowned race as part of Dubai Holding’s 2020 “#MyCity_MyRace” campaign.

Dubai Holding is the founding partner of Dubai’s official marathon since 2008.

“Take the first step, do remarkable things, be part of the UAE National pride and Join MyCity_MyRace” – Abeer Alkhaja.
