Stomping Grounds, the pet-friendly neighbourhood café in Jumeirah 1, is marking Dubai Run 2026 with two fitness challenges on Sunday, 22 November. The prize is a free Bowl of Goodness, or up to 50% off one.
The Circuit Challenge
From 9am to 2pm, dine-in guests can try a one-minute circuit at the café’s entrance: 10 push-ups, 10 tricep dips and 20 squats in 60 seconds. Anyone who finishes gets a voucher for a free Bowl of Goodness, which must be redeemed the same day and is for dine-in only.
The Dubai Run Squat Challenge
Runners who show their official Dubai Run bib number can take on a squat challenge at any time that day. Thirty consecutive squats earn 30% off a Bowl of Goodness, and 50 consecutive squats earn 50% off. The squats must be done in one go, without stopping or taking a break.
The café says the idea is to encourage Dubai residents to stay active during Dubai Fitness Challenge and refuel with wholesome food, whether they are coming back from Dubai Run, stopping by for a relaxed Sunday breakfast or visiting with their pets.
Stomping Grounds is a rustic café with a specialty coffee list and plenty of free parking, close to the waterfront on Jumeirah Beach Road. It serves breakfast, lunch, dinner and afternoon tea. Both Dubai Run offers are for dine-in guests only.
The café last featured here when it marked International Coffee Day with buy one get one free coffee. For more ways to eat well this month, see the healthy dishes at Time Out Market Dubai for Dubai Fitness Challenge.
