Fitness enthusiasts in Dubai can test their strength and endurance at upcoming DEKA STRONG roadshow events before the debut of the DEKA FIT competition in the UAE.
A new fitness challenge is coming to the UAE as DEKA FIT, organised by the team behind the well-known Spartan Race events, prepares for its debut in Dubai.
The main DEKA FIT competition will take place on Saturday, March 28 at Skydive Dubai, featuring ten functional fitness zones separated by 500-metre runs, creating a course that totals five kilometres.
Before the main event, two DEKA STRONG roadshow events will take place in Dubai, allowing participants to experience the format through a running-free fitness challenge focused on strength, endurance and agility.
What is DEKA STRONG?
DEKA STRONG is a functional fitness competition that focuses on exercises such as:
-
Sled pushes and pulls
-
Weighted carries
-
Lunges
-
Strength and endurance challenges
Unlike the DEKA FIT race, the STRONG format does not include running, making it suitable for participants who want a structured fitness challenge focused purely on strength and conditioning.
