  • Don’t miss out: The Colour Run.

    The Color Run returns for another edition later this year, giving you another chance to get doused with kaleidoscope power but this time there’s a fresh new twist, making it even more enjoyable.

    The Dubai Autodrome opens its doors on November 12 as part of the Tropicolor World Tour, taking the runners’ experience to the next level of fun. Presented by Daman’s ActiveLife, at their all-new Tropicolor Zone, you will not be short of options for entertainment as you make your way through an array of colours passing through palm trees and arches.

    While you complete the 5k, the fun doesn’t stop there and can revel at the ‘Rainbow Beach’ where sand, steel drummers, music and more colour powder awaits.

    With limited early bird tickets now on sale from Dh140, you can see for yourself why it’s dubbed as the ‘Happiest 5k Run on the Planet’. Whether you want to run, jog or even walk around the motor track, it’s open to all abilities as part of Daman’s vision in promoting a healthy lifestyle.

    “The Color Run™ presented by Daman’s ActiveLife has proven to be one of the country’s most popular exercise events,” said Dr Michael Bitzer, Chief Executive Officer at Daman.

    “It offers inspiration and motivation for first-time runners, the chance for seasoned athletes to inject some fun back into their work-out, and an exciting day out for families and friends. With events such as The Color Run, Daman’s ActiveLife seeks to empower the UAE community to lead a healthy and active lifestyle. We’re very pleased to once again support the return of this most anticipated event to Dubai.”
