Spartan Race Middle East Returns With Dawn till Dusk Challenge
The race will begin in a Colosseum-inspired arena before participants take on a series of obstacles across desert terrain.

Spartan Race Middle East is set to host its Dawn till Dusk endurance event at The Arena, Bab Al Shams on Saturday, April 19th, 2025. Following the success of the Trifecta weekend held earlier this year at Dubai Parks and Resorts, the upcoming race will feature two main formats: a 5 km Sprint and a 10 km Super, along with children’s races at 1 km, 1.5 km and 3 km.
The race will begin in a Colosseum-inspired arena before participants take on a series of obstacles across desert terrain. Competitors will start in waves from dawn, with the challenge running throughout the day and culminating at dusk. The event will offer a full-day experience that includes entertainment, recovery zones, and food and beverage options from regional brands.
Since its inaugural event, which drew over 4,000 competitors and 2,000 spectators, Spartan Race Middle East has continued to expand, securing sponsorships from major brands and making appearances at key regional sporting events.
