She Runs 2025: Celebrating Women’s Fitness and Community

A New Chapter in Women’s Fitness

This year marks an exciting evolution in the landscape of women’s fitness events in the UAE, with the return of She Runs 2025 on Sunday, November 2nd, at Expo City Dubai. Previously known as the Women’s Run, this event is entering its 12th edition, and it promises to elevate the experience for all participants. With new race options and a commitment to fostering connection, the event is a beacon for women across the nation.

Race Options for Everyone

She Runs 2025 recognizes that fitness comes in many forms. With race distances of 1 km, 3 km, 5 km, and 10 km, women of all fitness levels are invited to participate. Whether you’re seasoned in the running community or just starting your fitness journey, there’s an option tailored for you. This inclusive approach encourages everyone to lace up their shoes, step outside, and take part in the joy of movement.

Focus on Wellbeing and Community

At its core, She Runs 2025 is more than just a race; it’s a celebration of wellbeing and community engagement. Coinciding with the UAE’s declaration of 2025 as the Year of the Community, this event is designed to create a warm, welcoming environment for women from all walks of life. Participants will find encouragement not just to race, but also to connect, share experiences, and build relationships that extend beyond the finish line.

Empowering Pre-Race Programmes

In the spirit of connection, She Runs 2025 introduces a series of pre-race programmes leading up to the event. The She Runs Power Hour will feature warm-up sessions, inspiring talks, and outreach activities. Running from June to October, these initiatives are aimed at encouraging participation in schools and workplaces, creating a powerful sense of community and collaboration.

Event Support and Logistics

The event is organized by Plan b Group, with robust support from the Dubai Sports Council. She Runs 2025 also aligns itself with the Dubai Fitness Challenge 30×30, ensuring that fitness is a lifestyle celebrated across the emirate. The race village at Expo City will include water and medical stations, food stalls, music, and gathering areas, ensuring an enjoyable atmosphere for both runners and spectators. Competitors can track timings and rankings through the Hopesports website, adding an element of excitement and competition.

Beyond Dubai: A Nationwide Movement

In a further extension of the event’s mission, She Runs will also host a race in Abu Dhabi on November 9th. This is a fantastic opportunity for women outside of Dubai to engage in the fitness community, promoting health and active lifestyles nationwide. By participating in She Runs, women contribute to a larger movement that emphasizes fitness, friendship, and female empowerment.

A Call to Action

With its theme of “For Voices. For Connection. For Change,” She Runs 2025 invites all women in the UAE to engage in an enriching experience that goes beyond the race. Whether you choose to run, cheer, or volunteer, every contribution to the day helps foster a culture of support and encouragement. So gather your friends, family, and colleagues—let’s get moving together!
