This weekend, the capital will be home to an initiative called Move for the Planet, aiming to turn activity into action. For every 10 minutes of movement you log on the adidas Running app, adidas will donate €1 up to a total of €1.5Million to projects that provide education on sustainability and make sports facilities more resilient against extreme weather conditions such as heat waves and flooding.
The tracking period for activity minutes on the adidas Running app is from 10th to 22nd May 2024 and involves activities ranging from walking to team sport activities like football, basketball and the likes, so make sure to pair your fitness trackers with the adidas Running app.
On 19 May, you'll meet up at Rosewood Abu Dhabi on Al Maryah Island, and start off with experts sharing insights on how you can actively participate in the challenge, and tips and tricks to be more sustainable, before the group run on the promenade.
There's options of 2km or 4km, depending on your fitness level and that will be followed by a cool down. The exercise doesn't stop there though, you'll then head back to Rosewood Abu Dhabi for refreshments before a fun HIIT workout and calming yoga. The day will be filled with fun mini challenges and rewards, including access to Rosewood Abu Dhabi's pool to cool off.
In addition, you can donate your worn trainers to RUNKWA, an organisation dedicated to supporting young talented underprivileged runners. One or multiple pairs of old or new shoes to help can go a long way for a child in Kenya.
