10th anniversary of Sharjah Ladies Run on Feb.15

Under the patronage of H.H. Sheikha Jawaher Bint Mohammed Al Qasimi, wife of the Ruler of Sharjah, Chairperson of Sharjah Ladies Club, the Club will celebrate the 10th anniversary of the Sharjah Ladies Run, its annual event on February 15th.

With the theme of ’10 Trips Around the Sun’, the event will be held from 18:00 to 22:00 at Al Seyouh Ladies Park, marking a decade of the Club’s efforts to promote healthy living and empower women.

The club has seen its yearly run grow in popularity over the course of the past 10 years. Now the premier women-only running event in the Emirate of Sharjah, attracts women and girls and reflects the Club’s commitment to enhancing women’s quality of life through physical activity.

Women and girls aged 12+ are invited to take part in the event by registering through the Sharjah Ladies Club mobile application. The Club will share exercise and nutrition tips on SLC social media channels.

In honour of the event’s tenth anniversary, the race’s first winner will receive a cash prize of Dhs10,000. The total cash prize awarded to the top three finishers in the 5km category will amount to Dhs27,000, and gifts presented by the event’s sponsors.

Special prizes are offered to motivate Emirati participation, reflecting SLC’s commitment to empowering Emirati women in various fields. A report last year says that in line with its ongoing efforts to provide a safe educational environment and develop children’s skills through a variety of programmes and activities, Sharjah Ladies Club and its eight branches in the Central and Eastern regions are gearing up to launch a series of summer camps. These camps will run from 1st July to 29th August.

The club is organising four summer camps featuring a range of recreational, educational, art and craft activities, including workshops for cup making, face painting, pottery, cooking, and calligraphy, as well as sports activities like Zumba, swimming, ice skating, tennis, and more.

The camps cater to different age groups, including Little Hands Art Camp (ages 3-5), Summer Wonderland Camp (ages 6-8), Colour Me Happy (ages 6-8), and the Teens Glowing Summer (ages 11-16).

The camps will be held at Collage Talent Centre and the Sports Complex of the main headquarters, as well as other club facilities.

In this regard, Ala Al Shanasi stated that the annual summer camps aim to enhance children’s knowledge, social, and personal skills, support their creative talents, and fill their summer holiday time with useful activities through workshops and courses that teach them new life skills.
