About the race
The WOM Challenge 2026 is a morning wellness and activity event held at The Retreat, Palm Jumeirah in Dubai. The programme runs through six consecutive stages on a private beach and shaded lawn with calm, protected water for a paddle loop. The event offers the choice to participate solo or as a duo.
Stages on the morning include yoga and breathwork on the sand, a stand-up paddle loop on the sea at sunrise, a coached 30-minute strength session on the beach, a 5 km run along the shore with water stops, a recovery period with an optional ice bath and mobility work, and a shared healthy breakfast with a prize ceremony.
The venue provides parking on site and board, paddle and buoyancy aid for the paddle leg. Safety crew are present on the water throughout. Included in the participant place are coached sessions, access to the full reset zone, event photography, a finisher medal and the event's pink mark applied at check-in. The wellness village remains open after breakfast with partner activations and a panel on women, sport and health.
Places and prices are announced by the organiser in registration windows. Visit the organization's website for the most recent information.
