Such events provide us with a platform to raise awareness about the importance of exercise and nutrition. We hope that we can encourage the community to exercise regularly, even after the marathon is over.” Lootah said, “We are pleased to see that in the last few years such sporting events are gaining popularity in the UAE .Dubai now offers several jogging tracks and dedicated cycling tracks.
