Ras Al Khaimah: One of the most anticipated events on the UAE adventure tourism calendar, the Desert Warrior Challenge will be in its 10th edition when the curtains are up for the event at Al Marjan, Ras Al Khaimah on November 19th.
The milestone event is expected to be bigger and better than ever, with the largest range of obstacles to challenge the participant’s inner warrior. Warriors are set to test their courage with the ‘Leap of Faith’ obstacle, they’ll squeeze through the ‘Pressure’s On’ and as always, take on the infamous ‘Quarter Pipe’, the tallest pipe obstacle in the region. The course will be a great way to slide back into the adrenaline-pumping feeling all Warriors love.
The return of Desert Warrior Challenge to Ras Al Khaimah is a clear indication of the importance of sports and athleticism in our community. Hosting global sporting events including the 15th edition of the Ras Al Khaimah Half Marathon, the fastest half marathon in the world, we anticipate that Desert Warrior Challenge will draw in strong participation and awareness.
