Running with colour thrown at you, running in the dark with glow-in-the-dark lights and running through fake snow. If you thought physical activity cannot be made any more appealing, organisers of a new 5K run that involves foamy bubbles are ready to up the fun factor for UAE residents this weekend.
The first Big Bubble 5k Run will be held on Friday at the Dubai Autodrome. Participants will be sprayed with bubbles, made of 100 per cent toxic free ingredients and a non-slippery foam solution, as they walk, jog or run through the course with family and friends. There will be shower zones where foam will fall on runners and two foam bath zones that will produce bubbles on the course.
The Bubble Base at the starting point will have the main stage where a DJ will be spinning tunes to get the crowd energised. The activity area will also have face painting , bubble making and a big bubble show for children.
The run will take place at Dubai Autodrome from 7am on Friday.
Tickets are from Dh185 on www.bigbubblerun.com
