Win Big While Shedding Kilos: UAE’s Biggest Weight Loss Challenge Returns with Cash Prizes and a New Family Category
Residents across the UAE now have an exciting opportunity to lose weight and win cash prizes as RAK Hospital, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MoHP) Ras Al Khaimah, announces the return of its flagship RAK Biggest Weight Loss Challenge (RBWLC) 2025. This transformative 12-week initiative, running from February 21 to May 22, 2025, is designed to promote healthier lifestyles and combat obesity—a growing global health concern.
A New Twist: The Family Category
Now in its fifth year, the challenge introduces an all-new Family Category, encouraging parents, children, and extended family members to work together towards better health. This addition aims to make the weight loss journey more inclusive, engaging, and sustainable by fostering accountability and teamwork within households.
“The family unit is the cornerstone of a healthy society. When families commit to a healthier lifestyle together, they not only transform their own well-being but also inspire positive change within their communities,” said Dr. Raza Siddiqui, Executive Director of RAK Hospital.
Exciting Rewards for Every Effort
Participants stand a chance to win incredible cash prizes and special recognitions across multiple categories:
- Physical Challenge: Top male and female participants will receive Dh300, Dh200, and Dh100 per kilogram lost.
- Family Category: Families can now register as a team, fostering motivation and healthy competition among members.
- Corporate Team Challenge: Companies can register teams, with the top 10 employees’ average weight loss determining the winners.
- School Weight Loss Team: Schools can form teams of 10 or more staff members, with additional recognition for the school recording the lowest average BMI among students.
