Dubai ‘losers’ to win gold in bid to promote healthy lifestyle
Dubai residents are being given the chance to swap their gut for gold this Ramadan.
In a bid to promote a healthy lifestyle, Dubai Municipality has launched the ‘Your Weight in Gold’ initiative which will see participants who lose more than 2kg in one month receive 2g of gold.
The earn while you burn campaign will also see every kilo after that rewarded with another gram of the precious metal.
The initiative is sponsored by Dubai Gold Council and Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC).
Ahmed bin Sulaim, chairman of the DMCC said: “Health is a big issue here, not just obesity. It’s about education; eating smart and working out in the parks provided by the municipality, so I’m extremely proud of this initiative.”
The three biggest losers will also receive a gold coin that is worth Dhs20,000.
Anyone is eligible to register for the challenge.
You can sign up on Friday, July 19, between 8pm and midnight at any of these venues: gate three of Zabeel Park, the main gate of Khawaneej jogging track, the start of the running track at Mamzar Beach, gate four of Safa Park and the main gate of Al Barsha Park.
At the registration contestants will be weighed.
After 30 days the contestants will be re-weighed at any one of the venues mentioned, to see whether they have lost enough to earn their golden reward.
Lets burn to earn 🙂
