Not a fan of running alone? Maybe you joined the Mai Dubai City Half Marathon and went alone? Don’t worry, you can join the Bloomberg Square Mile Relay as a team of 10 with your colleagues. We know that sometimes it can be hard to find the motivation to lace up and get outside. However, running with a team will make it so much easier! We have rounded up our top reasons below on why you should sign up for the Bloomberg Square Mile Relay.
We can never say it enough, running is an individual sport that is shared by many. Just imagine how great it would be to be able to share this passion with colleagues with whom you spend most of your time. Beyond the physical test, running has the real power of team-building right from the beginning until the race day. Crossing the finish line with your team will be such a memorable moment that can create lasting bonds. It will strengthen your everyday ties and improve your interactions at work.
Running is healthy for you. If you’ve been working in a corporate workplace, you’re probably sitting all day long and staring at your screens. This is an amazing opportunity to get some exercise with your colleagues. Not only that, you will be motivated to eat healthily and do some training to help you prepare for the event. Joining the Bloomberg Square Mile Relay will be a great way to kick start the year with a healthier lifestyle.
Did you know that the Bloomberg Square Mile Relay is the only corporate race in the world? Not only that, but the Bloomberg Square Mile Relay is also one of the top 10 of the Dubai Sports Council’s (DSC) Sports Events Ranking System with the likes of the Emirates Airline Dubai Rugby Sevens and the Dubai World Cup. If you joined the Mai Dubai City Half Marathon and found it fun, we can guarantee you that you’ll also enjoy this event.
Training for and the actual event itself naturally come with highs and lows. Whether it’s a long run, struggles with nutrition, pushing through a rough speed workout or giving all you have on the race. The greatest benefit of taking a running event in a group is that you can motivate each other. Little words of encouragement like ‘you’re doing so well’ or ‘I believe in you’ can make a whole lot of difference when it comes to running.
There is nothing more rewarding than finishing a race. It doesn’t matter what time you finish, it is simply enough that you have finished and put all your fantastic training into practice to cross over the finish line. Not only are you succeeding but your colleagues as well. Those endorphins running with will also give you a sense of togetherness and community.
Joining a race is an experience like no other. Yes, it requires hard work and at times it can be painful, but it’s going to be fun to do something you haven’t done before. And don’t worry, we’re aware that we’re still in a pandemic that’s why we’ll do our best to make sure that it’s a fun yet safe event. Covid-19 precautions will still be taken during the event to ensure the safety of everyone.
