Come November 10 and Hatta will come alive with the cries of more than 5,000 Spartans as they take to the rugged hills, testing their resilience in the XDubai Spartan Race, a Press release said.
Organised by Spartan Arabia and Dubai Sports Council (DSC), and sponsored by XDubai and Dubai Holdings, this will be the first Spartan Middle East Championship with more than Dh 183,000 prize money on offer in the regional championship.
Hatta has been chosen as the venue not just for its challenging and diverse terrain, but also to promote the region as per the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, who announced a Dh1.3 billion comprehensive development plan for Hatta in November to enhance the social and economic capabilities of the region, and to boost its attractiveness as a sporting and tourist destination.
"As per the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, we at the Dubai Sports Council are working to develop the sporting infrastructure in Hatta and looking to organise many local and international sport events there, taking advantage of the geographical diversity of the region and turning it into a premier sporting destination, not just inside the country but in the region," said Saeed Hareb, general secretary of DSC, at a press conference to announce the details of the XDubai Spartan Race at the DSC headquarters on Tuesday.
"In that context, this XDubai Spartan Race is one of the most important events being organised and supported by the DSC and we would like to thank the Executive Office of His Highness for backing this pivotal event."
