Try these indoor running clubs in Abu Dhabi to beat the heat

Running in Abu Dhabi can be tricky during the summer months, when temperatures make heading outdoors less appealing. Luckily, there are a few indoor options where you can keep moving, from a weekly walking club at Yas Mall to indoor running events at Dalma Mall. Whether you are a regular runner or just looking to stay active, here are a few options to try. If you want to get your steps in without heading outside, Yas Mall’s Walking Club is a simple option. The club meets three times a week on the ground floor of the mall, giving you a chance to walk indoors in the air conditioning. The club meets every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from 8am to 9am, near the Mezzaluna Restaurant and Fashion Parking Mall Entrance. It’s open to different fitness levels, so you can walk at your own pace.
