Lovin Dubai is a proud media partner of Dubai Fitness Challenge 2020 – From October 30 to November 28.

For Dubai Fitness Challenge, Dubai wants to become the world’s fittest city. Everyone is asked to get involved, to do 30 minutes of activity a day for 30 days but one resident is going above and beyond.

Shout out to Ghani Souleymane!

Souleymane is an endurance athlete attempting to pull off 45km a day for 30 days. Phew! No easy feat, 45km is classed as an ultra-marathon which is defined as any distance longer than a 42.2km marathon.

Day 1: He finished at Kite Beach in four hours and twenty minutes

Day 3: Acknowledging he was feeling tired, Ghani says this challenge is not about speed

Feeling a little bit tired because of late start and overnight duty but alhamdoulah we got through it. This is not about speed it’s about getting through each run as comfortably as I can
