  • In the zone: Racing in teams of 10, each member will run for 1.5kms.

    Corporates can swap the offices for the race track at Zayed Sports City as the Abu Dhabi Dash makes its debut in the capital next week.

    More than 400 people from across the UAE will flock to the iconic sports venue on November 22 as they put their team-building and communication skills to the test to reign supreme. And with registration closing on Thursday, there’s still time for your company to join in what will be a fun day out.

    Whether you are a marathon runner, a sprinter or the kind of person who always fails to sign that gym membership, this race provides something for everyone. It’s simple, fun and competitive. Racing as teams of 10, each member will run for 1.5km each in the 15km distance around Zayed Sports City.

    Upon completion, the entertainment doesn’t stop there with the after-party scheduled straight after the race. While the winners will be crowned at the prize ceremony, there’s plenty of chances to win some great prizes with gym memberships, sportswear, restaurant vouchers and the opportunity to Dhabi HSBC Golf Championship all up for grabs.

    Dream team: The dash can be used as a great team bonding exercise.

    Already signed up are Abu Dhabi Sports Council, Abu Dhabi Media and Daman, meaning as well as keeping fit, it’s a fantastic opportunity to network. For Clyde and Co, they are no strangers to competing as a team in sport and are looking forward to the Abu Dhabi Dash.

    “We are pleased to be able to name team of runners for the Abu Dhabi Dash,” said Stacey Russell, legal secretary of Clyde and Co.

    “Our firm takes part in various sporting and wellness programmes throughout the year including the Dubai 92 Cycle Race to the Wings for Life run. We also organise teams for local touch rugby, football and golf events.

    “The Abu Dhabi Dash is a great team-building event that appeals to a variety of staff, it promotes healthy living and is a different way for our employees to socialise with each other and the wider community.”

    Team entry costs Dh4,795, which includes admission to the after-party, complimentary food and drink vouchers, access to the interactive sports village and the opportunity to participate in training sessions prior to race day.
