Community Cycling Event Gets People Moving Before Cool Weather Ends
As temperatures begin to rise and Abu Dhabi prepares for the onset of summer heat, “Cycle for Health UAE” offers residents one of their last chances to exercise outdoors without overheating.
The monthly event, organized by Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi and The Department of Health, is a great opportunity for residents to get active and reduce their risk of health conditions linked to inactivity such as heart disease. Visitors can borrow bikes and helmets and cycle through the iconic Zayed Sports City Stadium at the free event.
The 1.9km course allows riders to cycle through Abu Dhabi’s impressive sports stadium in a safe and controlled environment, away from the hustle and bustle of traffic. Individual coaching and riding lessons are available for children and those who are less confident riding bikes.
“Cycle For Health UAE” will also feature a children’s play area, a chill-out zone for all ages and a range of healthy food options to highlight the importance of diet in promoting health.
Visitor parking is provided at Zayed Sports City Stadium, free of charge.
Held in partnership with Healthpoint and Imperial College London Diabetes Centre, all part of Mubadala’s network of world-class healthcare providers, “Cycle for Health UAE” has quickly become Abu Dhabi’s leading community cycling event.
