Dubai Airport is hosting free Mallathon walks throughout August

If you’re travelling through Dubai International Airport this summer, you can now get your steps in while waiting for your flight. Dubai Mallathon is bringing its popular indoor walking and running concept to DXB, making the airport the first non-mall venue to host the citywide fitness initiative. The programme is designed to help people stay active during Dubai’s hotter months by turning air-conditioned spaces into places to walk and run. DXB held its first Mallathon session on Friday August 7, with part of Terminal 3 transformed into an indoor walking route. The airport will now host more sessions every Friday throughout August, bringing together airport employees, community partners and members of the public.

There will be two sessions to choose from, running from 7.30am to 9.30am and 9.30am to 11.30am. Participants can choose between a 750-metre route or a longer 1.5-kilometre walk, making it suitable for different ages and fitness levels. There’s no cost to join and no registration is required.
