GLOBAL RUNNING DAY 2026

On the evening of Global Running Day, FRAME opened its doors to over 300 runners for a 5K social run through Dubai Design District in partnership with ASICS Middle East. What started as an RSVP link on a story became one of the most attended run club nights we've hosted.

Check-in opened at 6:30 PM. Runners filtered in, tried on shoes at the ASICS Test Station, and settled into the familiar rhythm of a Wednesday evening at d3. The canal route kept things easy, a 5K loop designed for conversation as much as movement, open to all paces.

Therafit were on hand from the start, running taping sessions before the run and providing runner support throughout the evening. Post-run, Oatly ran the recovery bar and kept everyone well looked after.

The raffle closed out the evening with ASICS prizes and partner gifts.

300 runners. One canal loop. A good Wednesday.

Thank you to ASICS Middle East, Therafit, and Oatly for making it happen alongside us.
