Hundreds of superhero fans take part in Warner Bros World Abu Dhabi's Superman Run

More than 900 superhero fans, ranging from ages four to 79, descended upon Warner Bros World Abu Dhabi for the first Superman Run early on Sunday morning.

The event, to mark the end of the indoor attraction's Superman Season, featured a 3km and 5km family run, as well as a 200-metres kids' run. It was open to participants of all ages and fitness levels who attended the event dressed in their best Superman interpretation.

Superman Season was a two-month-long event with a number of special attractions featuring the Man of Steel. Fans also got to meet Superman and Supergirl live and in-person on the Warner Bros Plaza stage as well as take part in special themed rides and activities.

This is not the first superhero-themed event to be held at Warner Bros World Abu Dhabi, certified the World's Largest Indoor Theme Park by Guinness World Records.

In 2019, to celebrate the 80th anniversary of Batman, the attraction set the record for the “largest gathering of people wearing capes,” with 2,266 people wearing capes.

Warner Bros World Abu Dhabi is made up of six immersive lands — Warner Bros Plaza, Metropolis, Gotham City, Cartoon Junction, Dynamite Gulch and Bedrock. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is set to open soon at the Yas Island attraction, giving fans the chance to step inside all the beloved locations from the record-breaking book series and the blockbuster films they inspired.

Developed by Warner Bros Discovery's Global Themed Entertainment and Yas Island developer Miral, more details of the Harry Potter-themed land and when development will begin are yet to be revealed.

Five famous companies founded by teens

There are numerous success stories of teen businesses that were created in college dorm rooms and other modest circumstances. Below are some of the most recognisable names in the industry:

Facebook: Mark Zuckerberg and his friends started Facebook when he was a 19-year-old Harvard undergraduate.
Dell: When Michael Dell was an undergraduate student at Texas University in 1984, he started upgrading computers for profit. He starting working full-time on his business when he was 19. Eventually, his company became the Dell Computer Corporation and then Dell Inc.
Subway: Fred DeLuca opened the first Subway restaurant when he was 17. In 1965, Mr DeLuca needed extra money for college, so he decided to open his own business. Peter Buck, a family friend, lent him $1,000 and together, they opened Pete’s Super Submarines. A few years later, the company was rebranded and called Subway.
Mashable: In 2005, Pete Cashmore created Mashable in Scotland when he was a teenager. The site was then a technology blog. Over the next few decades, Mr Cashmore has turned Mashable into a global media company.
Oculus VR: Palmer Luckey founded Oculus VR in June 2012, when he was 19. In August that year, Oculus launched its Kickstarter campaign and raised more than $1 million in three days. Facebook bought Oculus for $2 billion two years later.
