Danat Al Ain Resort organises “Run for Fun”

A 5-kilometer fun run aimed at encouraging residents and hotel guests to engage in healthy activities was organised by Danat Al Ain Resort, the jewel of the Garden City of Al Ain.

In partnership with NMC Specialty Hospital in Al Ain, more than 150 adults and children gathered at the hotel to run, walk and learn about healthy initiatives. Children, parents, senior citizens, hotel employees and guests cheered and encouraged each other to finish the race that started from the hotel’s Garden to Al Nyadat Street.

Ahmed Margoushy, General Manager of Danat Al Ain Resort said: “We are very pleased with the number of people who showed up to participate in our sixth fun run. The event focused on experiencing the benefits of running, walking and simply moving. Participants also had the opportunity to speak with health practitioners about the benefits of physical activity and good nutrition.”

Physical activities were organized as part of the event including a 10-minute Zumba session initiated by Irina Chala, the hotel’s multi-certified Zumba instructor. Children, parents and hotel employees joined the lesson and all enjoyed the activity.

Winners of the race were also announced on categories such as the Best Runners of Male, Female, Boy, Girl, Youngest and Most Mature.
