Overview
- The inaugural airport sessions, held on 7 August, converted part of Terminal 3 Departures into an indoor walking route and ran two morning walks for employees and community participants.
- Dubai Airports will host further Mallathon sessions at Terminal 3 every Friday in August with a final DXB event on 28 August to mark Emirati Women’s Day.
- Organisers say the airport rollout is the first non-mall venue for the citywide programme and is designed to fit around shift patterns and daily routines for staff.
- The DXB activation is free to join with multiple session times and route options available for different fitness levels and no prior registration required.
- The expansion builds on 2025’s Mallathon results — more than 40,000 participants, about 120 million steps and a Guinness World Record — and aims to fold workplaces and transport hubs into Dubai’s long-term wellbeing strategy.
