As a first time in the Middle East, Spartan Race Trifecta with a series of toughness tests will be staged at Dubai Parks and Resorts on January 25 and 26, 2025. There will be three intense races, including the Sprint where participants will complete several rather challenging tasks, the Super which will be even more intense with higher and longer obstacles and the Beast race where participants are known to be exhausted to the maximum.
The Spartan Sprint distance will be about 5 kilometers, andmost of the participants are to pass 20 challenging obstacles that are to include climbs up walls, crawling through barbed wires and many others apart from the spear throw frenzy. For the enthusiast there is the Super race, where distance is covered doubled – 10 kilometres, with five extra walls, such as climbing bender and stairway to sparta. The Beast race takes it notch up a bit with 21 kilometers and 30 obstacles and swing test which will challenge the upper body strength of anyone.
This event, which is open to all, will be staged against the beautiful and rather rugged terrain of Dubai Parks and Resorts. There will also be Spartan Race kids’ edition on both days so as to allow family to enjoy the event.
To my knowledge Spartan Race Middle East Director Isla Watt said she was thrilled to have the race in Dubai. ‘While Spartan Race is more than just a race, but rather a movement that inspires people to find their beast and rise to the challenge’, she said, adding that Dubai would be a befitting backdrop for the race weekend.
Tickets for the Spartan Race Middle East have not been released but will be on the official website at www.spartan.com soon with costs for the tickets also yet to be released.
