Watch out Dubai!

adidas is bringing some of the coolest workouts at epic locations and it’s all thanks to a seriously cool collab between adidas and Dubai Fitness Challenge (DFC) and you’re about to be blown away with some seriously slick fitness activations happening city-wide for the entire month.

To kick off celebrations, professional free runner and parkour athlete Lynn Jung challenged herself by running ON the Burj Khalifa. She’s the first woman to do so since the Tom Cruise Mission Impossible stunt moment, the big event was a collaboration between Emaar, Dubai Tourism, and Burj Khalifa. The stunt highlights adidas’s aim to empower women and motivate people in the city of Dubai across all genders, ages, and ethnicities to participate in sport and put their health & wellness first with 30 minutes of exercise every day for 30 days.
