Looking for a weekend where sweat and adrenaline replace the usual brunch plans? Spartan City race is coming to Abu Dhabi this June, and registration is already open. After last year’s success, this indoor event is back for its second edition, inviting participants to push their limits at Etihad Arena.

The 3km course features 15 obstacles. The City format takes everything you love about a traditional Spartan race, such as obstacles that test your endurance, strength, and speed. The only difference: you’ll be doing it all indoors.

The majority of the race is held inside Etihad Arena, and there’s a small outdoor section that will give you a taste of the real Spartan challenge.

The event offers a great chance for the whole family to get involved. Children can join Spartan Kids races, with distances from 1km to 3km, or they can watch and cheer you on. Either way, everyone will be a part of the action.

If you’re up for an action-packed weekend, make sure to grab your spot in the race and get ready to conquer those obstacles.
