Dubai Fitness Challenge returns for its 10th edition

WAM: Dubai Fitness Challenge (DFC) will return for its 10th edition from 31st October to 29th November 2026, marking a decade of the citywide fitness initiative.

This edition will invite residents and visitors of every age, ability and fitness level to commit to 30 minutes of physical activity every day for 30 consecutive days. It will also harness digital innovation to connect with more people in new ways and further strengthen Dubai’s global profile as a destination for sport, wellness and active living.

Dubai Fitness Challenge was launched in 2017 under the vision of H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defence and Chairman of The Executive Council of Dubai, with a simple ambition: to inspire every resident and visitor to complete 30 minutes of physical activity every day for 30 days.

Since its launch, Dubai Fitness Challenge has grown from a citywide vision into one of the world’s largest community fitness initiatives. As it enters its 10th edition, DFC will celebrate a journey that has brought together more than 16 million participants while opening a new chapter in its efforts to make physical activity part of everyday life.
