The Dubai Fitness Challenge (DFC) is a month-long celebration of fitness and wellness that will be held from October 26 to November 24.
In a new pilot program called "Golf Is Good x Dubai Fitness Challenge," supported by The R&A and the Emirates Golf Federation (EGF), there will be 135 activities spread across nine venues. That’s right—over 2.4 million people are expected to register for the DFC this year, and for the first time ever, they’ll have access to golf lessons, practice facilities, fitness sessions, simulators, and even an evening community walk at Jumeirah Golf Estates.
The EGF is also rolling out introductory sessions of The R&A’s "Unleash Your Drive in Schools" program at local schools and during the upcoming DP World Tour Championship. They’ll be offering golf lessons and hosting a Mini Golf Sixes competition hoping to get more residents and visitors introduced to the game.
The initiative is part of a larger campaign started by His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum, the Crown Prince of Dubai. The DFC encourages everyone to complete 30 minutes of exercise daily for 30 days, promoting a healthy and active lifestyle.
Research shows that golfers live five years longer and face less risk of loneliness, health issues & diseases. Golf improves cholesterol levels, and even enhance strength and balance in older adults - Not to mention the social benefits from its traditions.
The "Golf Is Good x Dubai Fitness Challenge" initiative kicked off at Jumeirah Golf Estates and is proudly supported by The R&A, Emirates Golf Federation, and the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism, along with the DP World Tour and the Hero Dubai Desert Classic.
You can find golf activities throughout the month at various fitness hubs across Dubai, including Dubai Creek Resort, Dubai Hills Golf Club, Emirates Golf Club, Five Iron Golf, Golf Tec UAE, Jumeirah Golf Estates, MyGolf Dubai, The Els Club Dubai, and Top Golf Dubai.
