Hideaway Beach Resort Hosts First-Ever Maldives Hideaway Resort Run

Monday 29th of September 2025

It has been effective to hold the inaugural Maldives Hideaway Resort Run 2025 (MHRR 2025) in September 18-21 at Hideaway Beach Resort & Spa as part of World Wellness Weekend. Over 40 participants were gathered in the four-day event that offered a once-in-a-life kind of experience that integrated fitness and wellness with the natural beauty of the island.

The event featured professional marathoner Sunny Schippers as the headliner, leading a shakeout run on the first night of the event and motivating the runners the whole time. Visitors were also either registered in the 10K Challenge which was a two lap race around the island or in the 5K Island Fun Run which was to be a relaxed scenic course.

The 33-hectare resort was ideal as it has got the jungle trails, white beaches, and a design that will enable big parties without inconveniencing the guests. In addition to the races, there was yoga at sunset and sunrise, stretching and fitness classes with trainers such as Grant Twible and Iufa, and sound healing with Naga Healing. Such meetings provided them with an opportunity to balance themselves and know a few practical tips to improve their lifestyle.

The occasion ended with an awarding session, at the end of which both men and women winners were celebrated and everyone who finishes the event awarded a finisher medal.

Hideaway received the award of the Best Resort in Sports and Recreation at the TTM awards late, which is why it is establishing a strong reputation as a resort of wellness and active living. After its previous mini-Ironman in June, the resort announced the new sporting tradition of the annual return of MHRR in the Maldives.
