Hundreds of community members cycled 190km from Abu Dhabi City to the summit of Jebel Hafeet in Al Ain with an aim of spreading awareness on the importance of healthy lifestyle activities.
The Khalifa University Century Challenge 2022 was jointly held this week by Khalifa University of Science and Technology and Abu Dhabi Cycling Club (ADCC).
Cyclists set off from the main campus of Khalifa University in the city traversing key landmarks to the ‘Garden City’ of Al Ain and concluding the challenge with the Jebel Hafeet climb.
“The challenge aims to raise awareness of cycling among the community, whether as a sport or as a means of transportation, given its many health benefits, both physically and psychologically, and its contribution to preserving the environment,” the organisers said.
In January, Khalifa University and ADCC inked an agreement to hold such challenges annually.
“Through holding this annual challenge, Khalifa University seeks to play a role in supporting cycling in the UAE and spreading awareness among its citizens and residents of the importance of participating in healthy lifestyle activities,” the organisers added.
