Talking about the idea behind the race, Isphana Al Khatib, director Al Noor Training Centre, said: “The 4km fun run endorses healthy living along with a fun element of superheroes. Everyone who supports us, registers for the run is a superhero for Al Noor Centre. You can wear anything you are comfortable in and join in for a 4km walk/ run along with your family, friends or colleagues to show your support for the determined ones.
“The funfair starts at 9am and will go on until 9pm. We have a lot of activities in the fun fair. It is planned and designed in a way that there is something for everyone — luxury goods are on sale for adults, games for kids, fitness and sports for the health enthusiasts, a painting competition for art lovers and an elaborate food court for food lovers. A weekend filled with laughter and amusement is a perfect way to spend quality family time together.”
