Despite the pandemic, the Dubai Fitness Challenge was held with 100% motivation with residents and celebs alike giving it all they’ve got making it super successful.

With HH Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed, Crown Prince of Dubai, (Fazza) participating in the challenge and encouraging others to do so as well, this year’s challenge went by with a special sense of community at a tough time like this.

And while everyone’s contribution matters a lot, there were a couple of special participants who got a special shout out from the Crown Prince himself

Well done to the two stars of the Challenge:
1. Ghani Souleyman, a Togolese national, who ran an ultramarathon (45km) per day for 30 days.
2. Paolo Mangolinan, a Filipino national, who swam a marathon distance (10kms) per day for 30 days. pic.twitter.com/or1D3Fd8qr
