“This is a great way for us to promote running within the local community. I believe it’s our duty to make sure as many of the labourers are included in this,” said Meher Un Nissa, event director.
“We want to give them a chance to show that running is an active exercise. Most of them go and come from work and there’s no time for them to enjoy. We want to motivate them.
“But this isn’t all about the labourers. We want people to come and run. We will have around 400 runners taking part but we want more.
Overall it will be great day out and will be lots of fun.
“This is the first time we are org-anising this and we hope this will become an annual fixture every year.”
While labourers will compete in the 3k, other runners can take part in the 5k and 10k distances. The 5k and 10k winners in each age category will earn special trophies, medals, sports bags, vouchers.
There will also be lucky draws for all participants, with a chance to walk away with prizes worth up to Dh30,000.
