Abu Dhabi, UAE (11th October 2024): October is known globally as breast cancer awareness month and Rixos Marina Abu Dhabi is proud to do its part to support this worthy cause with its latest ‘Ride with Rixos’ cycling event. Taking place on 19th October, in collaboration with Al Jalila Foundation, lululemon, Electra, and Hoobara, this special event is part of Rixos Hotels’ ongoing campaign to support Breast Cancer Awareness Month, extending an open invitation to the community to participate in this meaningful cause with a ride along Abu Dhabi’s stunning Corniche.
Starting at 6:45 AM and finishing at 9:30 AM at Rixos Marina Abu Dhabi, the 20km scenic cycling route offers participants a unique way to show their support for breast cancer awareness while enjoying a leisurely ride in the autumn sun. The engaging event will begin with a dynamic warm-up session, followed by a post-ride stretching routine, both led by lululemon, a brand that is renowned for promoting wellness through mindful movement.
Adding to the support, ‘Ride with Rixos’ will partner with Electra, the Dubai-based, globally renowned comfort bike brand, which originated in California. Electra’s involvement enhances the event’s spirit of unity, bringing together participants of all skill levels for an unforgettable experience.
In a nod to sustainable innovation, a Tesla Model 3 will lead the participants safely to the cycling path, symbolising the resort’s efforts towards innovative progress and forward-thinking solutions. Participants will also have the opportunity to admire the sleek collection of Tesla Models S, 3, X and Y on display near the start line, adding an extra layer of excitement to the event.
Following the picturesque ride, participants are invited to experience the renowned Rixos Turkish hospitality, with refreshments and treats provided by Hoobara, a brand committed to making healthy living easy and delicious. Hoobara’s focus on natural, nourishing ingredients offers the perfect treat to enjoy as you relax, recharge, and embrace the community spirit post-ride.
‘Ride with Rixos’ is a growing community initiative that combines wellness with charitable causes through group cycling and this will be its 4th edition. Launched in June 2023 on World Bicycle Day, the event has since garnered significant attention having already welcomed over 500 participants with each edition dedicated to supporting partners such as the Friends of Cancer Foundation and The Pink Caravan.
Working closely with a brand like lululemon, a global leader in athletic apparel that believes that wellbeing is a right for all, was a logical choice for the resort as they both share a similar ethos.With a focus on physical, mental, and social wellbeing, the brand is committed to helping individuals move, connect, and thrive, aligning perfectly with the goals of the ‘Ride with Rixos’ event.
Al Jalila Foundation, a global healthcare philanthropic organisation, leads the UAE’s Pinktober campaign to raise awareness and funds for breast cancer research. Every October, the foundation partners with hundreds of organisations and community members to host events and activities across the UAE, aiming to support its breast cancer programme and spread awareness about early detection. With 1 in 8 women diagnosed with breast cancer, the Al Jalila Foundation’s efforts focus on advancing medical research and ensuring access to life-saving treatments.
Rixos Hotels invites guests to stand together and make a difference by contributing to the breast cancer awareness campaign. Participants are encouraged to donate to the ‘Let’s Go Pink for Breast Cancer’ initiative, organised by the Al Jalila Foundation by visiting https://yallagive.com/en/
