Hatta to Celebrate Open Sports Day with Big Events on July 27Community Fun, Sports, and Fitness Activities Set Amid Stunning Mountains

Hatta, a beautiful town in the mountains of Dubai, is getting ready for a big day of fun, fitness, and community sports. On Saturday, July 27, Hatta will host the Open Sports Day as part of a special summer campaign called "Our Summer is Sporty". This big campaign was started by the Dubai Sports Council to help people stay active and healthy during the summer months.

The Open Sports Day is being supported by the Supreme Committee for the Development of Hatta, along with many other partners. Organisers are expecting more than 3,000 people to join this event. People of all ages, nationalities, and fitness levels are welcome. Whether someone is a trained athlete or just enjoys casual games, there will be something for everyone.

The idea behind this event is to bring people together for a joyful and energetic day in the fresh mountain air of Hatta. Surrounded by nature, the goal is to encourage people to stay fit, enjoy the outdoors, and have fun with their families and friends.

Free Kayaking and Running Race at Hatta Dam

One of the biggest highlights of the day will be the free kayaking competitions, which are open to the public. People who love the water can come and enjoy paddling in the calm waters of Hatta Dam, one of the most scenic spots in the region.

In addition to kayaking, there will also be a running race held at Hatta Dam. This race is being organised by Super Sports, a well-known event organiser. The race will welcome runners from different backgrounds, whether they are beginners or experienced runners. It’s a great chance for people to challenge themselves in a safe and exciting environment.

Events for the Whole Family

Besides kayaking and running, the Open Sports Day will include many fun and competitive games for everyone. These activities are planned in a way that both kids and adults can take part. From small friendly competitions to team events, the aim is to promote health and happiness in the community.

The event will also focus on family-friendly activities, so parents and children can spend quality time together. The organisers believe that when families play and exercise together, it not only improves health but also strengthens relationships.

Hatta’s Busy Summer Calendar

The Open Sports Day is not the only activity taking place in Hatta this summer. There is a full calendar of ongoing sports programs already happening in the area. One of the most exciting programs is the Hatta Summer Sports Tournament, which is running until July 31.

The events in Hatta are attracting more and more visitors. People from all over the UAE and even tourists from other countries are coming to enjoy these unique activities. The beauty of Hatta, with its mountains, fresh air, and calm waters, makes it a perfect spot for sports and tourism.

The Dubai government, along with local partners, is working hard to develop Hatta into a year-round destination for health, sports, and relaxation. The aim is to use natural spaces smartly and healthily, so that people can enjoy the outdoors while improving their lifestyle.
