The UAE's most inspiring run for women and girls is back and this November, She Runs 2025 will once again touch the streets of Expo City Dubai, uniting thousands for a powerful celebration of wellness, connection, and change.
Taking place on Sunday, November 2, the event returns to this legacy-rich venue for the second year in a row, promising a race experience that blends purpose with progress.
'Expo City is a city of possibilities and that's exactly what She Runs represents,' said Dr. Harmeek Singh, CEO of Plan b Group. 'For every girl crossing the starting line, this isn't just a race. It's a beginning, for confidence, connection, and community.'
Now in its 12th year and newly rebranded from the Women's Run, She Runs continues to break barriers and build bridges. With over 5,000 attendees to the event in 2024, including more than 2,000 school-aged girls, the event is fast becoming the most inclusive run movement in the region. This year, participation is expected to grow by 20%, reflecting the rising momentum around female-led wellness in the UAE.
At the heart of She Runs 2025 is its fan-powered Race Village, set within the iconic grounds of Expo City Dubai at Al Forsan park, a venue built to inspire progress and unity. Returning for a second year, Expo City offers more than just a backdrop; it's a living legacy of innovation, inclusion, and global ambition, values that mirror the spirit of She Runs.
This year's Race Village will feature interactive wellness zones, youth-led performances, family-friendly fitness challenges, and community art installations, all designed to energize, engage, and elevate.
Guests will explore a vibrant marketplace of female-led brands, from sustainable fashion and health foods to tech-forward wellness solutions. There will be mindfulness tents, recovery stations, and mental health hubs, ensuring the event supports holistic wellbeing. Educators, coaches, and student leaders will also take the spotlight, creating a festival atmosphere where inspiration flows as freely as the miles covered.
With race categories from 1K to 10K, including a dedicated Girls' Run and route for People of Determination, She Runs 2025 is more than a fitness event, it's a classroom without walls, where movement teaches confidence, resilience, and teamwork. The 2025 theme, 'For Voices. For Connection. For Change.', reflects a bold commitment to empowering the next generation through community-driven health.
Registration is now open via www.sheruns.me and Premier Online. Whether you're a first-time runner, student, mother, or mentor, She Runs 2025 is your race, your voice, your moment.

Netflix Love is Blind fans have 'no sympathy' for Scots star who breaks down in tears

Scot Katisha Atkinson, 31, found herself in a messy love triangle on the reality TV dating show and teaser clips reveal she could have made the wrong choice in Javen. Love is Blind UK returned to Netflix for a second series earlier this week. Fans have already been binge-watching the popular dating show and sharing their thoughts online since the first crop of episodes dropped on Wednesday. ‌ Among the 30 participants entering the pods looking for love, sight unseen, was 31-year-old Scots nanny and make-up artist Katisha Atkinson. The Dumfries-born star has caused quite a stir on the programme, appearing to be involved in this year's big love triangle. ‌ Reacting to teaser clips of the episodes yet to come, which shows Katisha visibly upset, it appears her husband-to-be, Javen, is flirting with one of the co-stars at a group mixer. Fans have taken to social media to say they have 'no sympathy' for Katisha, as they voiced their thoughts. ‌ " Katisha really trying hard to convince herself self she made the right choice with Javen. Girl I'm sorry for you, you chose the guy who did nothing for you when you had a good soul like Demola. I just know your tears are going to be premium," one fan voiced. Someone else wrote: "Katisha is such a disappointment, at your big age still falling for the games?Good luck with that #loveisblinduk." "Cannot believe Katisha, says she has a type which is clearly toxic. Comes on #LoveisblindUK ignores intentional, loving fine Demola to choose the toxic Javen who didn't even fight for her. Now she siting in Greece making excuses for him #LoveIsBlind," wrote someone else. One fan pointed out: "Women love toxic men, that is the only reason Katisha is picking that man over Demola #LoveIsBlindUK," as someone else said: "Katisha has terrible decision making skills, that's a huge loss, Demola did everything right #LoveIsBlindUK." ‌ Further teaser clips show that despite opting to open her heart to Javen, Katisha faces a rather awkward encounter when she comes face-to-face with Demola in upcoming episodes. "I do not want to see Katisha go back to Demola after she broke his heart. Pls, I don't want to see another Nicole-Sam-Beneiah situation like last year. She better stick with her decision," one fan wrote. Someone else added: "Katisha chose Javen? Who's clearly immature and just there for the 'game'? Katisha, girl, hope you like laying in the dumbass bed you just made #LoveIsBlindUK." ‌ "Katisha loves toxic men because wtf. Hope she watched this back and feel shame #LoveIsBlindUK," chimed in another fan. The first four episodes of Love Is Blind will be available from August 13. Four more will follow on August 20 with the final four on August 27.
