  3. Ride.Rent/UAE Partners with Barefoot Mallu for Emirates Wide Marathon Campaigns.

Here's the way moving forward—sustainably, one step at a time!

In a groundbreaking initiative to promote environmental sustainability, Ride.Rent has proudly partnered with Aakash Nambiar, famously known as Barefoot Mallu, to launch a series of marathon campaigns across the UAE.

These events aim to raise awareness about the importance of preserving nature, with a particular focus on protecting oceans and maintaining a greener environment for future generations. As part of this eco-conscious collaboration, Ride.Rent has signed a year-long contract with Barefoot Mallu, committing to two engaging events every month that inspire communities to embrace sustainable practices.

The partnership kicked off with an impressive 115-kilometer marathon from the Hatta Oman border to Mushrif Park in Dubai, marking the beginning of a series of awareness campaigns dedicated to environmental preservation. Ride.Rent, as the official logistics partner, ensures seamless event execution by providing reliable transportation solutions for participants and event essentials.

This collaboration not only highlights Ride.Rent's commitment to corporate social responsibility but also reinforces the importance of collective action in protecting nature.


Who is Aakash Nambiar – The Barefoot Mallu?

Aakash Nambiar, popularly recognized as the Barefoot Mallu, is a passionate marathon runner with an extraordinary track record of endurance events that support various social causes. His journey in long-distance running is driven by a deep sense of purpose and an unwavering dedication to making a positive impact. Notable achievements in his marathon career include:

  • 2021: Ran 51 km from Manali to Rohtang at an altitude of 13,050 ft to raise funds for the NGO Free to Run.

  • 2020 (December): Ran 125 km from Guwahati to Cherrapunji alongside Milind Soman.

  • 2020 (August): Ran 74 km solo on Independence Day to honor frontline warriors.

  • 2020 (January): Achieved a historic milestone by running 118 km from Abu Dhabi to Dubai in 27 hours, becoming the first Indian to do so.

  • 2019: Ran from Pondicherry to Chennai (125 km) in just three days.

Over the years, Aakash has participated in several other remarkable runs, including international marathons in Sri Lanka and endurance challenges across India. His commitment to running barefoot symbolizes a strong connection with nature and an unyielding determination to advocate for environmental conservation.
