The 5 km walk will be flagged off from the Jumeirah Beach Park on Beach Road, Dubai at 10.00 am and will end at the Al Noor Centre, where walkers will enjoy a carnival atmosphere including eats and a host of fun activities and competitions - with attractive spot prizes - for adults and children alike.
The Shoe Mart Walkathon - the first being organized by the company - lays stress on the importance of a healthy and balanced lifestyle. "Most UAE residents face increasing workloads and longer hours at office, forcing them to forego activities that make them healthier human beings, both from a physical and spiritual perspective," says Manu Jeswani, Director of Shoe Mart and the brain behind the event. "This event will combine the two aspects - physical well-being and the good of the community - so that people in the UAE feel inspired to bring in both these aspects into their lives."
The Shoe Mart Walkathon is expected to raise approximately AED 50,000 for Al Noor Centre.
