  • Awesome: Wadi Adventure is a great place for you to take part in a fun run.

    Wadi Adventure will host its first 5km Glow and Go run this month and organisers are inviting people to sign up before registration closes next Tuesday.

    Taking place on Friday, May 23, at 20:00, it promises to be a run that will be full of fun, and it is something for everyone to enjoy with the run not timed.

    Open to participants from 16 and over, the run offers something different from the traditional Wadi Adventure races that see people jump, crawl, climb and swim as they overcome obstacles to complete the course.

    “We’ve seen a lot of great success in the previous editions of the Wadi Adventure races that we’ve held previously,” said Nora Hassan, sales and marketing manager at Wadi Adventure. “And we found there are some people who don’t participate in the Wadi Adventure races purely because it’s a bit of a challenge as it’s a 10km run.

    “Usually it has a lot of obstacles and it’s quite intimidating so we wanted to have something that is more inclusive. Anyone with any fitness level can participate in this run. It’s enjoyable and a fun way of having a great time. It also promotes the initiative of having a healthy lifestyle.”

    And with it being a run and not a race, where your finish doesn’t matter, it is entirely up to you whether you want to run, walk or jog the 5km course.

    When you cross the finish line, you can cool down with a splash in the pool while dancing to tunes played by the DJ.

    Entry costs Dh150 per person which also includes a t-shirt, glow items and refreshments. And while it is the first Glow and Go run, Hassan hopes this will be the start of many more at Wadi Adventure.

    “As this is the first time we want to see how popular the run is,” said Hassan. “If it grows in popularity then maybe we can have another one. The most important thing is that people can enjoy as we want to promote the benefits of having a healthy lifestyle”.

    “There’s no other event like this in the UAE. It gives people the opportunity to get their running shoes on and have a really good time.”
