Wasl, one of the largest real estate development and management companies in the region, has set a new Guinness World Records\u2122title for the \u2018Highest Running Track on a Building\u2019. Wasl\u2019s Sky Track, located on the 43rd floor of 1 Residences, the luxury residential tower within the Wasl1 master development, exemplifies Dubai’s commitment to promoting fitness and healthy living and encouraging residents to pursue an active lifestyle.<\/p>\n

Situated 157m above the ground, Sky Track is a 335m rooftop track where fitness enthusiasts can enjoy a unique experience surpassing a traditional gym workout. Walkers and runners alike are able to enjoy unrivalled views of Dubai that include Burj Khalifa, Zabeel Park, The Dubai Frame, Sheikh Zayed Road, old Dubai, and the Arabian Gulf.<\/p>\n

The global fitness industry has seen significant growth in recent years aligned with increased awareness of the importance of physical activity. Community events organised in Dubai such as the 30-day Dubai Fitness Challenge have succeeded in inspiring residents to adopt a healthy lifestyle. Responding to this societal shift, Wasl prioritised health and well-being in its innovative development process by building the most iconic running track in the world.<\/p>\n

His Excellency Hesham Al Qassim, CEO of Wasl, said:<\/strong> \u201cWe are delighted to achieve another Guinness World Records title for Dubai. We are humbled that Sky Track has achieved a world record, and happy that it will enhance residents\u2019 daily lives. 1 Residences is a unique development that reflects the vision of our wise leadership in striving for excellence in all spheres. We remain steadfast in our commitment to creating projects that inspire and improve the well-being of residents and communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

Talal Omar, VP \u2013 MENA & T\u00fcrkiye, Guinness World Records\u2122 said:<\/strong> \u201cWe are consistently delighted by the ingenuity and ambition of record holders around the world. The achievement of constructing the highest running track on a building is not just a testament to architectural prowess but also to human aspiration. It\u2019s remarkable how boundaries are continually pushed to redefine what\u2019s possible. This track isn\u2019t just a feat of engineering, but a symbol of Dubai\u2019s commitment reaching for the skies\u2014both literally and metaphorically. We congratulate everyone involved in this monumental accomplishment.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is the second time that Wasl has been recognised by Guinness World Records following its \u2018Largest Aerial Projection Screen\u2019 record, which took to the skies in celebration of \u2018Year of Zayed\u2019 in 2018 to commemorate the late Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the Founding Father of the UAE.<\/p>\n

1 Residences is a mixed-use development comprising 753 ready-to-move-in units. Residents can enjoy an array of exceptional dining, leisure, and entertainment facilities within the project, which also features two swimming pools, two state-of-the-art gymnasiums, a podium courtyard, children\u2019s play areas, and BBQ pits, among many others.<\/p>\n
