500 runners. 4 wild distances. 1 legendary desert ❤️‍🔥

The AlUla Desert Blaze is back and it’s not for the faint of heart. From ancient Hegra to the mirrored marvel of Maraya, this is more than a race. It’s a test of will through fire, sand, and centuries of history.

Whether you’re lacing up for 5km or going all in for 42.2km of grit and glory, AlUla’s epic terrain is calling.

🏃‍♀️ August 15–16
📍 AlUla, Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦

Get ready to see the iconic ‘Fly Better’ on the women’s field.🏉✈️

Emirates is now the Official Partner of the Women’s Rugby World Cup 2025, kicking off 22 August in England.

According to the team at EK, the partnership goes beyond branding – it includes sponsorship of World Rugby Match Officials during the World Cup 2025, helping foster the growth and development of top-tier match officials and supporting the rise of women officials in pinnacle competitions. YES to that. 👏

The Emirates ‘Fly Better’ kit will be worn by match officials across all matches.

It’s the latest in a long list of women’s sports sponsorships for the Dubai-HQed airline including all four women’s tennis Grand Slams, WTA Dubai Duty Free Tennis Championships; nine Asia Rugby women’s competitions; UAE Rugby Federation Women’s League, Women’s HSBC 7s, Arab Women’s 7’s; Dubai Hurricanes Women’s teams; Dubai 7s women’s rugby and netball competitions; HSBC Cape Town 7’s; ICC Women’s World Cups; Lancashire women’s cricket club and Arsenal women’s football club. We love to see it.

With 16 national teams, 8 venues across England, and a new World Cup Trophy on the line, this tournament marks a defining moment for the women’s game.

🇦🇪 A Paralympic journey begins.🐎

UAE para-athletes Fatima Al Bluoshi and Wafaa Aldahmani have officially completed their FEI Para Dressage classification, a required international assessment that determines an athlete’s competition grade based on ability.

They’re among the first riders on the UAE Para Dressage Performance Programme, launched by The Royal Stables in April 2025 to build a national team for the LA 2028 Paralympics.

After months of training in Abu Dhabi, the athletes travelled to the UK this June, where they attended the CPEDI (Concours Para-Équestre de Dressage International), a global para dressage event, and trained alongside members of Team GB’s Paralympic squad.

This milestone marks the start of an ambitious, athlete-first journey. 🐎💫

The best part? The programme is still open to eligible athletes across the UAE.

⚡️The game is changing, and we’re changing it ⚡

The Mettleset is more than media - we’re a movement.

Centering women, we’re rewriting the rules of sports media , with a lens that’s bold, fun, community-driven, and culture-forward. 💅 🏄🏽‍♀️🏂🏻🚴🏻‍♀️

We celebrate sports culture and collaborate with athletes, creators, coaches, agencies, and our media colleagues to build something bigger - and built for everyone.

Proud to be part of the inaugural E1H Innovation Hub by Ethara and OnetoWatch - and even prouder of what’s coming next. 📈
