The XDubai Spartan Women’s Sprint, the first ladies-only Spartan race in the Middle East, was held at the Jebel Ali Race Course on Saturday.
Organised by Spartan Arabia, in cooperation with Dubai Sports Council, the Sprint race attracted more than 1,000 participants.
“We are delighted with the participation of so many ladies, of different nationalities and age group, especially Emiratis,” said Julia Al Jenabi, the marketing manager of Spartan Arabia.
“This huge turnout will certainly act as an encouragement for us to organise more such events for ladies, thus providing them with an opportunity to showcase their talent and encourage them to embrace physical activity.
“We have made a promising start and moving forward, we will be looking to organise many more successful events like this.”
