Event info
For the past 8 years, every October during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, we have organized runs to raise funds through the Al Jalila Foundation for Breast Cancer Initiatives - donating in excess of 350,000 to this worthy cause.
With the COVID-19 pandemic limiting the number of people that can attend our Pink Run at Zayed Sports City on 9th October we're keen to provide an option to ensure everyone who wishes to support the cause can!
Introducing the UAE Virtual Pink Run (or Walk).
Throughout the month of October we're encouraging you to achieve the equivalent of 1k a day or 31k total in October for for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Whether you run, jog or walk, the Virtual Pink Run enables you to join us in supporting a worthy cause.
Those who complete 31km during October and are resident in the UAE will receive a 'REAL PHYSICAL' Virtual Pink Run medal (all will be sent the medal on achieving the 31km target).
Proceeds from every entry will go to Brest Friends, a forerunner in raising awareness on the importance of early detection of breast cancer, furthering patient support with medical treatment and investing in local breast cancer research.
NOTE : On registering there is no refund, medal is only available to UAE residents. You can only register one person per account for this event. We do not accept friends and family.
