  • The NAS Night Challenge has 12 obstacles

    The popular Ramadan NAS Night Challenge is back on May 31 and June 2 and part of this year’s NAS Sports Tournament.

    The Challenge is a community-based 5km obstacle course, and you can take part either on your own or as part of a team. There will be an ‘individuals’ night on May 31 and a ‘team’ night on 2 June.

    The course is spread out next to the NAS Sports Complex, Nad Al Sheba, and the Challenge is expected to attract over 2000 athletes and visitors over the three days.

    Held under the patronage of Sheikh Hamdan Bin Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai and Chairman of Dubai Sports Council, the first NAS Night Challenge was held during Ramadan 2017 and saw more than 1,000 participants from over 15 countries across the globe in three different categories.

    Participants will have 12 fun and challenging obstacles to cover throughout the 5km race including the Siege, Vine Swing, Warped Wall, Balance Beam, Rope Ladders, Black Hole and The Chimney.
