Dubai International Airport (DXB) has joined the Dubai Mallathon for the first time, turning Terminal 3 into an indoor walking track for employees, travellers and the wider airport community.
The initiative, launched by Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, is hosted at DXB by Dubai Airports. It marks the first time the Dubai Mallathon has taken place outside a shopping mall.
First session brings together airport community
The opening session at DXB was held at Terminal 3 Departures and included Dubai Airports employees, oneDXB community members, and People of Determination. Further sessions will continue at Terminal 3 every Friday throughout August, with the final one scheduled for 28 August to celebrate Emirati Women's Day.
Majed Al Joker, Chief Operating Officer at Dubai Airports, said: "We're proud to host The Dubai Mallathon in its second edition here at DXB. This is an initiative we can all get behind because it encourages people to be part of something that's more than just exercise. This is a community-driven movement that fits around shifts, work locations, and daily routines and where small steps make a big impact. DXB is the perfect location for indoor walks because airports are places of movement by nature, and this initiative gives our employees and oneDXB community another way to come together, stay active and support Dubai's wider wellbeing ambitions."
