Yas Marina Circuit successfully hosted a special edition of its flagship TrainYAS community fitness programme, Together We Ride, on 3 June, bringing together more than 1,500 participants for an evening dedicated to movement, wellbeing and community engagement.
Presented in partnership with Abu Dhabi Public Health Centre (ADPHC) and brought to you by Novartis, the event transformed Yas Marina Circuit into a vibrant hub of activity, encouraging families and the wider community to come together in support of healthier lifestyles.
As one of the UAE’s most popular community fitness initiatives, TrainYAS continues to provide residents with unique opportunities to stay active in an inclusive environment while experiencing one of the country’s most iconic sporting venues.
