Race with Purpose. Climb for Change.
 

The M1 Run returns for its 12th edition and this year Media One Hotel is calling on Dubai’s business councils to race with purpose and see who will be crowned the fastest business council to the top!

🏃‍♂️‍➡️The M1 Run challenges participants to sprint 1.2 kilometres uphill and climb more than 700 stairs across 42 floors, transforming Media One Hotel into a vertical race arena.

But this is about far more than speed or stamina. Every registration directly supports The Sparkle Foundation and their long-term work creating sustainable change for communities across 18 villages in Malawi.

Join us in representing the Belgian Business Council, build team spirit, and compete for impact while making a real difference beyond the finish line.

Why take part 

✅ A meaningful corporate challenge that combines fitness, teamwork, and social impact
✅ A chance to compete against other Dubai business councils for the title of fastest to the top
✅ 100% of profits donated to The Sparkle Foundation
✅ Over AED 20,000 in prizes, giveaways, and goodie bags
✅ Optional post race breakfast at garden on 8 to celebrate together
