This… is… Sparta!

Well no actually, its Abu Dhabi, but Abu Dhabi Sports Council and Spartan have announced Joe De Sena, Spartan CEO and founder, will spearhead their largest-ever free-to-attend training session program ahead of the highly-anticipated Spartan World Championship.

The Spartan World Championship, taking place in Abu Dhabi from 8-10 December, is the pinnacle event on the global Obstacle Course Racing (OCR) calendar, with the world’s best OCR athletes competing for more than $90,000 in prize money.

Set to take place in Abu Dhabi’s Al Wathba area for the second consecutive year, the strategic location provides a stunning and convenient backdrop to both local and international competitors and participants alike.

This year’s championship again promises a unique opportunity for fitness aficionados and amateur athletes to challenge themselves on the same circuit as the world’s best in the Open Heats. Accessible to all ages and skill levels, these races require no qualification and welcome everyone to join in the ultimate Spartan experience.

Ahead of the exciting weekend, organisers are rolling out an eight training session roadshow across various locations in Dubai and Abu Dhabi in partnership with leading fitness provider Vogue Fitness.

The roadshow will swing into action at Vogue Fitness, Yas Marina on Saturday 21 October, marked with a special training session with Spartan CEO and founder Joe De Sena.

Aspiring Spartans will be put through their paces during a one-hour fitness session conducted by the visionary leader and personal trainers, with a Q&A, photo opportunity, and media interviews to follow the training session.

Following the two training sessions on 21 October, the roadshow will continue at various Vogue Fitness locations, including JLT Dubai, Ritz Carlton Abu Dhabi, Al Raha, and Yas Marina from 27 October to 25 November.
