Dubai becomes home to world’s highest running track
Dubai has once again achieved a new Guinness World Records title, this time, for housing the ‘Highest Running Track on a Building’.
Wasl’s Sky Track is perched high above the bustling city streets located on the 43rd floor of 1 Residences at Wasl1, Za’abeel, with joggers on a path that seems to merge with the sky.

Situated 157m above the ground, Sky Track is a 335m rooftop track where those who choose to lace up their running shoes have a surreal experience as opposed to a traditional gym workout. Walkers and runners alike are able to enjoy unrivalled sights of Dubai that include the Burj Khalifa, Zabeel Park, The Dubai Frame, Sheikh Zayed Road, old Dubai, and the Arabian Gulf.
The global fitness industry has seen significant growth in recent years aligned with increased awareness of the importance of physical activity. Community events organised in Dubai such as the 30-day Dubai Fitness Challenge have succeeded in inspiring residents to adopt a healthy lifestyle. Responding to this societal shift, Wasl said it prioritised health and well-being in its innovative development process by building the most iconic running track in the world.
