Dubai always keep finding new ways to get people moving. One of the most motivating pushes is the Dubai Fitness Challenge (DFC). The 30-day event swears by encouraging residents in Dubai to take fitness seriously. But this time, it is going beyond workouts and into your kitchen. This year, the city’s biggest wellness movement is dishing out something fresh. Say hello to “Fuel Your Challenge”, a new nutrition initiative.

The initiative has been launched to prove that moving well starts with eating well. Running from November 1 to 30, 2025, this ninth edition of DFC is stretching its focus beyond daily workouts. The initiative introduces and focuses on food that powers every push-up and every 5K run. So no more fighting the food to achieve fitness.
Launched back in 2017 by HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed, DFC has inspired millions to take on the 30-minute daily movement challenge. This year’s theme, “Find Your Challenge”. This year, this additional step pushes the boundaries by celebrating holistic wellbeing.

From quick breakfasts to recovery meals after Dubai Run presented by Mai Dubai, every dish is designed to fuel progress.
