Cigna, a global health services provider dedicated to helping people improve their health, well-being and sense of security, is gearing up to host the fourth edition of the monthly Cigna Park Run to mark the beginning of the new year.

Offering the choice of a 2.5 km and 5 km course and targeting individuals of all ages and fitness abilities, the run will take place on January 5, 2019, at Al Ittihad Park on Palm Jumeirah.

Cigna aims to attract more participants to the popular family lifestyle event that is part of the company’s ongoing efforts to raise awareness about the benefits of leading an active lifestyle.

Featuring a host of additional health and fitness activities on the sidelines, the Cigna Park Run brings a fun element to the company’s mission of building a healthy community through various initiatives that promote health and well-being.

Previous editions of the run have attracted huge crowds, with the last event drawing the participation of over 400 fitness enthusiasts. The overwhelming response has contributed to Cigna’s objective of supporting Dubai’s vision to become the most active city in the world.

The Cigna Park Run is a year-long series of fitness events designed to encourage people to prioritize their physical well-being and treat themselves to a community day out at their favorite neighborhood park. Since the inaugural run in May, more than 1,200 Dubai residents have registered to the free event and this is expected to grow with the continuation of monthly runs set to take place through to April 2019.
