Abu Dhabi Sports Council launches Cyber Run and Ride to Promote Digital Awareness Through Sport

The Abu Dhabi Sports Council has announced the Cyber Run and Ride, a community initiative to raise cybersecurity awareness through sport.

The event combines running and cycling activities with messages promoting safe and responsible behaviour in the digital world. By linking physical activity with cybersecurity themes, the initiative seeks to highlight everyday cyber risks and encourage individuals to adopt better online practices as digital technologies become increasingly embedded in daily life.

Open to participants of all ages and fitness levels, the Cyber Run and Ride allows individuals to take part over a set period while using digital tools to track progress and share results. The format is designed to maximise engagement and reach wider segments of the community with cybersecurity awareness messages.

The initiative reflects Abu Dhabi’s broader efforts to strengthen digital awareness alongside wellbeing, positioning cybersecurity as a shared responsibility that extends beyond organisations to individuals and families.
