Abu Dhabi, May 2026. Mushrif Mall, in collaboration with Colorland Toys, is bringing back one of its most celebrated annual events as “Run Baby Run” kicks off its third season from 22nd to 24th May 2026. What started as a charming crawling competition has grown into one of the UAE’s most anticipated family occasions, and Season 3 reflects that growth in full. With more than 200 expected registered babies aged 6 to 16 months ready to race, the mall’s central arena will become a space where small steps carry the biggest excitement, and every family in the crowd has a reason to be there.
Each of the three nights will feature a full schedule of baby races, with every participating child taking home a special prize. Beyond the competition, the event opens a wider programme for families, including arts and crafts sessions, children’s activity zones, and live entertainment designed to keep the whole family engaged from start to finish. With AED 20,000 in total prizes, Season 3 raises the reward, the energy, and the celebration all at once.
“Run Baby Run has earned its place as one of the most genuine celebrations we host,” said Mr. Biju George, General Manager of Line Investments. “Seeing hundreds of families gather to cheer on their children, to share in those moments of pure delight, is exactly what this event was built for. Season 3 takes that spirit further, and we are proud to welcome more families than ever before.”
“Every year, Run Baby Run reminds us why community events matter,” said Mr. RiyasCherichi, General Manager of Mushrif Mall. “The energy inside the mall during those three nights is unlike anything else we host. We expect Season 3 to set a new standard for what this event can be.”
Run Baby Run is more than an event — it is a memory that families carry with them long after the finish line. At Colorland Toys, we believe every child deserves a moment to shine, and Season 3 gives us the privilege of creating hundreds of those moments at once. Watching these little ones run with all their heart is the greatest reminder of why we do what we do.”— Mr. Muneer, Managing Director, Colorland Toys
When we brought Run Baby Run to life, we dreamed of a community coming together around the joy of childhood. Season 3 tells us that dream has grown into something truly special. Colorland Toys has always stood for nurturing young energy and confidence, and there is no better stage for that than seeing these children sprint forward with smiles on their faces.”— Mr. Thayeebpattillam, General Manager, Colorland Toys
Mushrif Mall invites all families to be part of Run Baby Run Season 3 from 22nd to 24th May 2026, starting at 6:00 PM each night. Come watch the UAE’s tiniest competitorsrace, explore the activities, and be part of three nights that will leave every family with something worth remembering.
