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.
