Abu Dhabi - Innovation in the UAE’s architectural sector continues to break global boundaries, setting new standards for premium lifestyle offerings.
On June 16, 2026, Ali Al Hammadi reported a groundbreaking achievement: an Abu Dhabi tower officially earned the Guinness World Records title for the highest running track on a building.
The track, situated at the apex of Al Ain Tower, stands an impressive 179.7 metres above ground level. Certified on June 11, 2026, this record-breaking addition by Abu Dhabi-based asset management company ALAIN transforms the concept of urban fitness, providing a unique experience with unobstructed views across the capital’s skyline.
At WE DUBAI, we focus strictly on the pinnacle of the real estate market, where ultra-clean, minimalist design meets extraordinary functionality.
The Al Ain Tower’s running track is the epitome of this philosophy. Developed to promote wellness, active lifestyles, and community engagement, the track serves both residential and commercial properties within the tower.
This achievement marks the third Guinness World Records title for ALAIN, a developer that previously secured records for the world’s highest outdoor infinity pool and the highest occupiable skybridge floor at the Address Beach Resort in Dubai. This consistent delivery of world-class amenities underscores the uncompromising quality expected in the UAE’s luxury sector.
The sophisticated integration of such amenities requires visionary economic planning. The strategic decision to allocate premium rooftop space for a running track — rather than additional penthouses — demonstrates a profound understanding of long-term asset value and community building.
By designing a space that encourages healthier living in an urban setting, ALAIN ensures that the Al Ain Tower remains a highly sought-after address for discerning individuals who prioritize wellness as an integral component of luxury living.
Group Chief Executive Officer of ALAIN, Rabih Karam, provided critical insight into the company’s ethos, noting that the latest achievement reflects a deep focus on innovation.
“We are proud to receive this recognition from Guinness World Records and add a third world record to ALAIN’s portfolio,” he said.
Karam eloquently summarized the shift in modern real estate demands: “The highest running track on a building reflects our belief that real estate should offer more than just physical spaces. We aim to create experiences that promote wellness, inspire people and enhance everyday life.”
He reinforced that the company remains committed to delivering developments that stand out in a highly competitive market.
To mark this extraordinary milestone, ALAIN launched a promotional campaign featuring Shabab Al Ahli winger and UAE national team player Yahya Al Ghassani.
Being among the first to run on the 179.7-metre-high track following its official certification, Al Ghassani’s involvement highlights the new world record and the elite experience it offers.
The campaign, deeply reflective of the themes of ambition, movement, and achievement, will be distributed across digital and social media channels.
