Sharjah24: The Sharjah Sports Council has launched registration for the first edition of the "Sahara Run," set to take place on Sunday, August 4th, at Sahara Centre. The event aims to attract 300 participants of both genders. This activity is part of the community sports programmes during the summer, encouraging the practice of sports and offering enthusiasts, especially runners, the opportunity to participate in an indoor race at the mall. The event is organised in collaboration with the mall management, Ability Sports Services Company, and several sponsoring and supporting entities, ensuring a conducive and motivating atmosphere.
Registration for the race is available via the link: [Sahara Centre Indoor Run](https://www.hopasports.com/en/event/sahara-centre-indoor-run). The event will feature indoor running on the mall's ground floor, with three distance options: 8 km, 4 km, and 1 km for children. The distance for one lap is 1 km on the ground floor. The 1 km children's race will start at 7:00 AM, followed by the 4 km race 15 minutes later, and the 8 km race at 7:17 AM. The award ceremony will begin an hour later, with medals for the top finishers in each category. A total of 108 winners across all categories will be awarded special medals designed in the shape of the Sahara Centre logo, inspired by the desert environment of the UAE, with the race name in both Arabic and English and the year, available in gold, silver, and bronze.

On this occasion, Dr. Yasser Omar Al Doukhi, Head of the Department of Sports and Community Events, highlighted that this is the first time the event is being held at Sahara Centre. It targets various segments of the community, reaffirming the Sharjah Sports Council's commitment to diverse locations for community sports events during holidays and the summer period.

He added that several entities have collaborated to organise this event, including the Sharjah Volunteer Work Centre, Sharjah Broadcasting Authority, the Ministry of Health and Prevention, NMC Hospital Group, and Well Vitamin, which will provide free medical and health services. Dr. Yasser Al Doukhi invited sports and running enthusiasts to participate with their families and enrich the event.
