WeWalk & WeRide takes place on Saturday, November 15, 2025, at Dubai Science Park from 08:00 to 12:00, with registration opening at 06:30 and a group warm-up at 07:30. The walk sets off at 08:00 and wraps up by midday, giving families and solo participants a friendly four-hour window to complete their distances. Moreover, volunteers guide arrivals toward the check-in desks from first light to keep queues short. You can pace yourself, since hydration points usually sit near the main loop. Arrive by 07:00 to avoid queues.
Event overview
This community charity morning blends a timed walk with casual riding segments on a safe internal route, so participants of various ages can move together at a steady, social rhythm. Because the aim centers on awareness and fundraising, the tone stays upbeat rather than competitive. Additionally, staff encourage inclusive pacing and regrouping moments so nobody feels left behind. You’ll still earn a solid workout, as the circuit repeats until 12:00. Finally, finishing arches and photo spots help capture your morning for a cause. This is a non-competitive charity event.
Registration and pricing
Organisers typically run online sign-ups in advance while keeping on-site desks for last-minute arrivals from 06:30. Since this is a charity initiative, donations are encouraged at registration; expect a suggested contribution of approximately AED 50–100 per participant. However, some categories may be free for children or seniors, depending on the fundraising model. Bring card or contactless payment to speed the process. Donation amounts are approximately.
Location and access
Dubai Science Park sits in Al Barsha South, with primary access from Umm Suqeim Street and Hessa Street, linking quickly to E311 and E44. As usual with weekend community events, marshals guide vehicles to designated bays close to the central lawn. Furthermore, the event village concentrates in one area, so you can move between registration, warm-up, and start gates easily. Keep your ID handy for any wristband collection. Follow event signage on arrival.
Parking and public transport
Parking is available around the park’s internal roads and adjacent lots, though bays near the event village fill first between 06:30 and 07:15. Therefore, plan an early arrival or park slightly farther out and stroll in. While public transport options exist, connections can require a taxi from the nearest Metro stations, such as Mall of the Emirates. Ride-hailing drop-off lanes usually open near the main gate to reduce congestion. Parking capacity is limited near start time.
What to expect on the route
The walk route uses broad internal roads and shaded stretches where possible, with cones, barriers, and marshals at key turns. Consequently, prams and wheelchairs can usually navigate the flatter sections, though minor ramps may appear near crossings. Cyclists ride in a separated loop or timed windows to maintain safety. Water stations, basic first aid, and rest benches sit along the village side of the circuit. Obey marshal directions at all times.
Suitability and safety
Families, couples, and solo participants find the format accessible and uplifting, especially with a clear finish before lunchtime. Moreover, strollers and kids’ bikes typically enter designated zones to reduce conflicts with faster movers. Bring a small waist pack for snacks, phones, and wipes, and refill at the water points often. Medical staff and a roving cart usually cover the loop for quick assistance. Children require close supervision.
Coming from nearby Emirates
From Abu Dhabi, take E11 toward Dubai, then merge onto Hessa Street for Al Barsha South; allow 60–90 minutes depending on weekend traffic. From Sharjah and Ajman, E311 often provides the smoothest run, although early congestion can build near Al Khail and Hessa interchanges after 07:15. Alternatively, you can park near a Metro hub such as Mall of the Emirates and take a short taxi to the venue. Start early to avoid delays.
Weather and gear
Mid-November mornings in Dubai usually begin near 24 °C and rise toward 31–32 °C by midday, with low rain chances and moderate humidity. Therefore, wear breathable fabrics, a light cap, and UV sunglasses, and apply sunscreen before the warm-up. Additionally, pack a 500–750 ml bottle and consider electrolyte tabs for the final hour. Riders should perform a quick brake and tire check, while walkers should lace comfortably and use moisture-wicking socks. Hydrate consistently throughout the morning.
Warnings and tips
Expect peak arrivals between 06:30 and 07:30; traffic remains lighter after 08:15 but parking near the village will be scarce. If you plan to use ride-hailing, book your return pickup window before you start to avoid post-event surge times. Public transport can work with a taxi connector, yet driving remains the most direct option for families with gear. Ticket or donation amounts may change and remain “approximately,” so carry a payment card just in case. Make your reservation before it’s too late! According to information provided by the editor of www.few.ae, early registrants secure the most convenient start windows and the closest parking bays.
