DUBAI: History was made at Expo City Dubai as She Runs 2025 earned official recognition from Guinness World Records for the “most participants in a female run event” on Sunday as part of the Dubai Fitness Challenge 30x30.

The 12th edition of the run, supported by the Dubai Sports Council, in association with Dubai Fitness Challenge, and organized by Plan B Group, once again transformed Al-Forsan Park into a platform for female empowerment.

Dr. Harmeek Singh, founder of Plan B and race chairman of She Runs, said: “This is not just a record, it’s a revolution. Thousands of women from every walk of life came together to prove that movement can move the world. We run for our daughters, for our mothers, for every woman who dares to dream and act. When women run together, barriers fall, hope rises and the city itself finds a new heartbeat.”

Women and girls of all ages and abilities joined in the race categories of 1 km, 3 km, 5 km and 10 km.

The record-breaking event drew leaders, partners and community champions, including Saeed Hareb, secretary general, Dubai Sports Council; Sheikha Saeed Al-Mansouri, acting director general, Dubai Foundation for Women and Children; and Amna Abulhoul, creative executive director, Expo City Dubai.

Also in attendance were UAE Transplant Athletes Husena Beguwala, Fatima Rashid, Hind Juma and Katie Larkins, each sharing their inspiring stories of courage and recovery.

Six Community Champions — Sanjana Karia, Dr. Shefali Verma, Lisa Campbell, Ava Hall, Laila Labib and Atiqa Asif Mir — were honored for inspiring new generations through their leadership across Dubai Active Industry Talks, Youth Programs and Studio Sessions.
