National Bank of Fujairah PJSC (NBF) has secured sponsorship from GMS Inc for its annual Fujairah Run, significantly enhancing and strengthening the event’s profile. This year’s run will take place on Saturday 23 November through scenic routes in the historic Emirate of Fujairah.
Organised under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad bin Mohammed Al Sharqi, Crown Prince of Fujairah, the run reflects the commitment of the Emirate’s leadership to encouraging a healthy and active lifestyle. It also aligns with NBF’s dedication to providing initiatives that support the wellbeing of the communities in which it operates, and integral component of its Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) strategy.
Dr. Anil Sharma, Founder, LILA GLOBAL commented: “For three years, Lila Global has proudly sponsored the NBF Run, hoping to inspire people of all ages to prioritise their wellbeing, embrace fitness as part of their daily life, and come together in the spirit of fellowship and vitality. We’re strong believers that healthy habits build healthy minds, and are thrilled to once again support an initiative that unites our community in celebrating strength, resilience, and a shared commitment to a more active future.”
Now in its eighth edition, the Fujairah Run is designed to attract all members of the community of all ages, from seasoned runners to novices. Starting and finishing at Fujairah Festival Square, near the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque, this year’s run will feature six categories that follow routes winding through the historic town of Fujairah and its scenic surroundings. These six categories include: 3km, 5km, 10km, 11km trail run and a run for the people of determination.
