RUSH-A-WAY CHALLENGE
Friday, September 27

Another new adventure is headed to Dubai with the Rush-A-Way Challenge, set to physically and mentally test participating teams in a variety of ways.

Each challenge will offer a different test, with aspects like teamwork, stamina, strategy, communication skills, quick thinking and speed required.

With it being summer and the heat ratcheted up, this edition will take place at indoor locations, meaning there’s nothing to sweat as you zoom through the challenge.

Teams will earn points based on how fast they complete each challenge, and those that don’t finish in the given time will receive a penalty.

TIME: From 8am*

WADI ADVENTURE RACE

The popular Wadi Adventure Race returns this month where athletes will be pushed to the limits in a gruelling obstacle course.

Since its debut in 2012, the race has gone from strength to strength, and organisers are expecting another strong turnout this month for what will be the seventh edition overall.

Competitors will have to overcome a 5k, 10k and 15k obstacle course where they will crawl, run, carry, swim, swing and climb their way to the finish line.

TIME: From 6am
