Embrace the morning.
Morning Riders is a dynamic youth organisation at the University of Dhaka, dedicated to promoting health, fitness and community engagement through a variety of activities among students. We arrange fitness programmes every morning — running, warm-ups, self-defence, karate and cycling. Occasionally we also arrange football tournaments, fitness seminars, marathons and morning tours.
“Inspiring Youth. Building Community. Leading with Fitness.”
