Ski Dubai, in partnership with Dubai Sports Council and CRANK fitness studio, has announced the launch of the region’s first-ever Snow Duathlon, set to take place on Sunday, 29 June. This unique event, combining running and stationery cycling in sub-zero conditions, adds to Dubai’s expanding list of innovative fitness initiatives aimed at promoting an active lifestyle during the summer.

Interested participants can register through Premier Online until 27 June.

The Snow Duathlon will be held inside Ski Dubai, where competitors aged 13 to 60 will face the ultimate fitness challenge in -4°C temperatures, starting with a 5 km stationary bike ride and followed by a 3-km (three loops) or 5-km (five loops) run. Entrants may compete either individually or in teams of two.

Each finisher will receive a commemorative medal, while the top three performers in each category will be recognized on the podium and awarded special prizes.

This event is the latest product of the ongoing collaboration between Ski Dubai and the Dubai Sports Council, who share a long-term vision of enhancing community well-being by making winter sports accessible to all residents and encouraging year-round physical activity.

Winter and ice sports now play a key role in the Dubai Sports Council’s annual calendar. The Council works with a wide range of partners to expand the reach of such activities to include all nationalities, people of determination, and especially UAE nationals. This aligns with the Council’s broader goal of increasing the diversity of sports events available across Dubai to ensure that all community segments can engage in the sport of their choice.

In cooperation with Majid Al Futtaim, the Dubai Sports Council continues to organize multiple snow sports events and competitions throughout the year, reaffirming its commitment to positioning Dubai as a hub for inclusive and innovative sports experiences.
