The final weight check in the ‘Your Weight in Gold’ campaign will be carried out over four days from August 31 to September 3, between 5pm and 9pm.
Participants are urged to head to the same location where they had signed up. It will be one of five locations –Zabeel Park , Khawaneej jogging track, jogging track at Mamzar Beach, Safa Park and Al Barsha Park.
Dubai Municipality also urged contestants to update their personal details by logging on to the official website (www.thedmgold.com) before the final weigh-in.
Once the details are updated they must take a print-out and carry it with them when they head for the final weight check.
Participants can also dial 800900 to learn more about the process.
Nearly 10,000 participants have signed up for the weight-loss programme.
In the run-up to the grand finale, the civic body had organised fitness camps at Safa Park, Zabeel Park and Mamzar Beach over three days.
Participants also got an opportunity to consult dieticians and fitness experts, who advised them against any quick-fixes and encouraged them to adopt safe ways to shed their excess weight.
Dubai Municipality kicked off this unique campaign on July 19 in collaboration with Dubai Health Authority.
After the campaign gained momentum, Hussain Nasser Lootah, Director General of Dubai Municipality announced a revised gold reward scheme.
He added that participants will get 2gm of gold for every kilo lost after the 5-kg mark, and 3gm of gold for every kilo lost after the 10-kg mark.
Those losing 5-kilos will be rewarded with 1gm of gold for every kilo lost.
