If you’ve been using the heat as an excuse to avoid your walks or runs this summer, Dubai Mall is giving you every reason not to.

One of nine malls hosting the Dubai Mallathon – a city-wide initiative that transforms shopping malls into a fitness space – Dubai Mall will turn into an indoor walking and running track between 7am and 10am daily throughout August.

Participants can head to the registration desk near Dubai Ice Rink every morning to collect their wrist band and enjoy a walk or run. If 5k or 10k sound too intense, there’s a 2.5k route as well. The best part? You can cover it at your own pace. The event is open to all ages.
