(MENAFN- Mid-East Info) “The Dubai Fitness Challenge embodies the vision of
His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown
Prince of Dubai, Deputy Prime Minister, Minister of Defence, and President of
Hamdan Bin Mohammed Smart University, to build a healthier, happier, and more
productive society. This inspiring initiative has become a defining milestone in

Dubai's journey, reflecting its status as a global city of well-being and quality of
life, and reaffirming its human-centred approach that places individual health and
happiness at the heart of its development agenda.

The Dubai Fitness Challenge has succeeded in fostering a sustainable culture
that encourages individuals and institutions to embrace an active and balanced
lifestyle - one that harmonizes physical fitness and mental well-being. At Hamdan
Bin Mohammed Smart University, we take pride in our active participation in this

inspiring social movement by motivating our academic and administrative teams,
as well as our learners, to engage in regular physical activity. We firmly believe
that physical and mental health are fundamental pillars of smart education, which
integrates academic excellence with human well-being.

In this spirit, the University annually organizes the 'Run and Ride' event as part of
the Dubai Fitness Challenge activities, bringing together members of the

community in a collective sporting and awareness-raising experience that
promotes public health and spreads the culture of physical activity.

HBMSU remains steadfast in its commitment to supporting national initiatives that

enhance quality of life, in alignment with the aspirations of UAE Centennial 2071
and the Dubai Urban Plan 2040, both of which place human well-being and health

at the core of sustainable development - reinforcing Dubai's position as an
inspiring global model for active living, balance, and happiness.”
