City Centre Ajman was transformed into a racetrack because Ajman’s Department of Tourism Development (ADTD) organised an indoor run there. This indoor race consisted of 8k and 4k races along with one 800m race for juniors! According to the ADTD, the races drew 300 participants, all of whom got certificates. The authority will organise activities in closed, air-conditioned spaces throughout the summer to “suit all levels, abilities, and ages.”

Khadija Turki, acting director-general of the ADTD, said: “We are keen to organise a series of events and sports activities during the year as part of Ajman Tourism’s strategy to promote the emirate as a sports destination. By doing so, we contribute to the dissemination and the promotion of the culture of adopting sport as a lifestyle.”
