As temperatures touch 50C, Dubai runners turn to indoor marathon
DUBAI: Early on Saturday, as temperatures soared outside, a sprawling shopping center in Dubai echoed to the squeak of sneakers as hundreds of people joined “Mallathon” — an indoor, air-conditioned race. The government-backed initiative aims to encourage exercise during August, often the United Arab Emirates’ hottest month, and make use of Dubai’s giant malls which are otherwise empty at that time.

It is one of a number of attempts to steer Dubai’s car-loving, mall-rat population toward exercise, including the 30x30
