Alright, adrenaline junkies and fitness fans—grab your water bottles and your willpower, because things are about to get seriously vertical. Coming in hot on Sunday, April 20th, The H Dubai Vertical Run is back, and it’s challenging you to race your way to glory—36 floors of stair-climbing, leg-burning, heart-pumping glory.
Let’s be honest: most of us avoid stairs like we avoid replying to emails on a Friday. But this isn’t your everyday “ugh, the elevator’s broken” stair situation. This is the high-stakes, full-throttle climb that’ll have your calves crying, your heart thumping, and your spirit soaring—literally.

Hosted by The H Dubai, in partnership with Team Sports UAE and backed by the Dubai Sports Council, this isn’t just a fitness challenge—it’s a whole vibe. Think: early morning energy, a buzzing crowd, sweaty high-fives, and the kind of camaraderie that only comes from collectively questioning your life choices on floor 27.
Here’s what you get when you decide to #TakeTheChallenge
- A wild ride (okay, run) up 36 floors of The H Dubai Office Tower
- A medal and certificate—because yes, you are a stair-climbing superhero
- Real-time results and official timing (for when you want to humblebrag later)
- Complimentary access to the BMI fitness facility to keep those gains going
- A credit voucher to spend at The H Dubai—might we suggest brunch at Eat & Meat or coffee at The Gallery?
- Event kit, bib, refreshments, and vibes
All this starting from just AED 105. That’s less than your last online shopping spree that you swore was “the last one.”

Yassin Mahmoud, General Manager at The H Dubai, summed it up perfectly: “We love bringing the community together with challenges like this. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or just someone who kinda likes stairs, this event is all about moving more, feeling good, and maybe sweating a little (okay, a lot).”
It kicks off at 8:00 AM, so set that alarm, lace up those runners, and bring your game face. It’s not just a race—it’s a celebration of endurance, determination, and the unspoken bond between people who climb 36 floors and still manage to smile at the top.
When: April 20th at 8.00 AM
Where: The H Dubai Office Tower
Tickets: Starting from AED 105
So, are you in? Spots are limited, and if you blink, you’ll miss it—kind of like that one guy who always sprints the whole way up like it’s nothing (we both admire and fear him).
Secure your place now and get ready to take your fitness journey to new heights—literally.
