As temperatures soar, New Balance and Common Grounds, one of the UAE’s most-loved homegrown cafés are making sure Dubai’s running community doesn’t have to slow down. This summer, New Balance and Common Grounds are coming together to launch a unique Summer Run Series at Dubai Hills Mall, inviting runners of every pace to Run Your Way in a cool, indoor setting as part of the Dubai Mallathon.
Every New Balance | Common Grounds Mallathon session begins at the New Balance store, where runners meet at 6:15am before setting off on a 5km indoor community run through Dubai Hills Mall. After crossing the finish line, participants can head back to the New Balance store to redeem their breakfast voucher before making their way to Common Grounds, where they’ll refuel with a complimentary high-protein breakfast, electrolytes and coffee. The experience concludes at Common Grounds, where runners can unwind, connect and refuel, a ritual that has become just as much a part of running culture as the miles themselves. Complimentary breakfast vouchers are available for the first 100 runners at each session.
To keep Dubai moving all summer long, New Balance and Common Grounds are also introducing a unique Loyalty Program to encourage more runners to join the run. Participants can collect a stamp after every session, with those who complete all eight runs from the series receiving complimentary coffee from Common Grounds.
By partnering with one of the UAE’s most-loved homegrown cafés, New Balance continues to champion the local communities and businesses that have helped shape Dubai’s running culture.
Future runs within the series will take place throughout the summer at Dubai Hills Mall, with Common Grounds serving as the official post run destination for every session. Interested participants can find updates for the next run on Common Grounds’ official Instagram page here.
