Abu Dhabi, UAE (19th November 2025): Following the immense success of its ongoing Ride with Rixos series, Rixos Marina Abu Dhabi is taking community wellness to the next level with the launch of the first edition of Run with Rixos. This engaging event has been designed to unite fitness, philanthropy, and fun, all for a worthy cause. Taking place on Sunday, November 23rd, the run is being held in partnership with lululemon and Shanab and will proudly support Movember, the global movement raising awareness for men’s health.
Building on the momentum of its previous community initiatives, Rixos Marina Abu Dhabi has established itself as a key wellness hub in the capital. Through Ride with Rixos, the property has hosted more than eight editions since 2023, bringing together over a thousand participants to cycle for meaningful causes, including breast cancer awareness and children’s charities. These social impact and collective well-being efforts continue with Run with Rixos, which has been designed to inspire residents and visitors alike to move with purpose.
The Run with Rixos debut allows runners of all fitness levels to join the community run, either 2.5K or 5K distances at the Abu Dhabi’s scenic Corniche. Starting at 7:00 AM, with participants gathering from 6:30 AM, the event encourages the community to come together in support of Movember, championing awareness around men’s mental health, suicide prevention, and prostate and testicular cancer. Each step taken represents a stride towards better health, stronger connections, and open conversations around important causes often left unspoken.
At the finish line, participants will be welcomed back to Rixos Marina Abu Dhabi for a post-run celebration infused with the property’s signature hospitality. Guests can enjoy invigorating ice baths, wholesome breakfast bites, and beats from a live DJ, ensuring an uplifting and memorable end to the morning. Built as much for connection as for fitness, Run with Rixos brings the same spirit of energy, inclusion, and wellness that continues to make Ride with Rixos a standout success.
lululemon, a global leader in athletic apparel and wellness, known for inspiring mindful movement and community engagement, will support the event, giving attendees the opportunity to take home some unique products and surprises. The Hype Running Club will also support by bringing Compression boots for post-run recovery. Both lululemon, Shanab and the Hype Running Club hare Rixos Marina Abu Dhabi’s vision to promote holistic health, wellbeing, and togetherness through accessible fitness experiences.
Join Rixos Marina Abu Dhabi for the first-ever Run with Rixos and make every step count this Movember. Seasoned runners and novices alike can move for a meaningful cause, connect with the community, and celebrate a morning of wellness with style and spirit.
