Dubai Presents Spartan Race for Running Warriors at Bab Al Shams Arena This April 2025
On April 19, 2025, from dawn ‘til dusk, The Arena, Bab Al Shams, will showcase a Spartan Race for those who want to put their best running skills to the test. You can select Sprint or Super Race for a 5- or 10-kilometer run, respectively.
I also love that young Spartans can join the fun with the Kids’ Race for 1, 1.5, or 3 kilometers! For me, this shows that anyone can start and embrace their fitness journey, no matter their age or size.
And I think it doesn’t even matter if you’re a morning or night person—there are options available either way! So no pressure. But in my opinion, the night races make for a much cooler, comfier experience. You also can’t miss the desert’s starlit sky!

And once you cross that finish line, you can earn a Unique Finisher medal (with engraving) and a Finisher T-shirt. Not to mention some major bragging rights among your pals!
You can check out Spartan’s website for the complete and updated list of events and activities. Just note that registration on the day opens 90 minutes before the start time of each wave, and you must complete it 15 minutes before you run.
