In its second year, the DXB Runway Ride offered five rhythm-cycling sessions for cycling fans, Dubai Airports staff, and the oneDXB airport community. Participants enjoyed Crank’s high-energy workout, blending music and movement for an engaging fitness experience against the airport setting.
Michelle Lee, Vice President of Brand and Communications at Dubai Airports, stated: “The Crank Runway Ride demonstrates our commitment to fostering Dubai’s goal of developing healthier and more active communities. It also highlights our dedication to providing distinctive DXB experiences that connect people, create lasting memories, and contribute to the city’s health and vitality culture.”
