3. Zainab, the incredible para-athlete, pulled a 2000kg Jeep leaving everyone awestruck on another level

Not only does Zainab Al-Eqabi aim to bring forward bucketloads of positivity, she truly brings strength to the table.

She lost half of her left leg in a bomb in Iraq when she was seven years old, but that didn’t stop her as she pulled the Jeep in front of a cheering crowd at a challenge in Sustainable City.

2. The Dubai Ride saw a lovely tribute to the frontline workers and some sporty and motivated celebs

The first-ever Dubai Ride took place this year as the Sheikh Zayed Road was entirely blocked and used for a HUGE cycling event. Football stars like Carles Puyol and Luis Figo also took part in the Dubai Ride.

And to add to the positivity of the event was a participant named Ajmal who dedicated his Dubai Ride to the delivery boys who have been serving the public all through this year. Ajmal carried out a few groceries and a small note thanking the frontliners on the back of his bike throughout the journey.

1. Even the pups took fitness seriously and completed their 30×30

Dog owners and their pets had a fun time at the newly opened Bark Park in Damac Hills on Friday with the fitness event hosted by Dogventure. From the ‘NamaSitStay’ program that allowed gentle stretching for dogs and their humans to the ‘Bow Wow Games’, the event covered it all.

There were challenges and bonding exercises all throughout the event for the dog owners and their furry friends.
