Spartan Middle East is elevating its 2025 calendar with a brand-new Trail Run at Mushrif Park on Saturday December 6.
This isn’t your usual Spartan race. The Trail Run ditches the obstacles for a pure 10K through Mushrif Park’s shaded Ghaf woodlands and rugged tracks.
Covering 1,300 acres near Al Khawaneej, the park is one of Dubai’s biggest green spaces, offering both natural beauty and easy access for runners and families.
You could say it’s been a big year for Spartan in the UAE.
In September, they hosted the country’s first Spartan City race at Etihad Arena, drawing over 4,000 athletes.
October saw the Spartan Trifecta at Al Ain Zoo, welcoming 4,500 participants for a unique race in a conservation park. The Mushrif Park Trail Run promises a fresh challenge for seasoned runners and newcomers alike.
The event is part of the Dubai Fitness Challenge and is organised in partnership with the Dubai Sports Council, encouraging everyone in the city to get moving with 30 minutes of daily physical activity.
Expect more than just running. The festival village will have food and drinks from regional vendors, interactive activities, and family-friendly entertainment, making it a day out for the whole gang.
Spots are now open at arabia.spartan.com, with early-bird discounts available until October 31.
