Fujairah to host Arab Warrior Championship on October 25

Fujairah Adventures announced the launch of the first edition of the Arab Warrior Championship.

The details of the event were disclosed in a press conference held at Fujairah Adventures Park.

The championship will take place on October 25, 2025, in Fujairah, held in collaboration with the Ministry of Sports.

This landmark event will bring together more than 1,200 participants, both men and women, from across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, and Qatar, reflecting the growing unity and competitive spirit of athletes throughout the region.

Adding an international dimension, the championship will also welcome 20 elite athletes from around the world, each bringing world-class experience and skill to the course. Competitors will face a series of challenging obstacles designed to test endurance, strength, and teamwork — all set against the breathtaking natural landscape of Fujairah.

Ghayah Albalghouni, Director of the Marketing and Event Office Fujairah Adventures, Amr Zein Eddin, Director of the Fujairah Adventures Centre, and Duncan D’Ewes, Chief Commercial Officer at Arabian Warrior were present during the press conference.

The championship is built around three main race categories, each designed to challenge participants in unique ways and promote inclusivity across all ages and fitness levels.

The first category, known as the Warrior, is tailored for professional athletes and seasoned competitors who thrive on intensity and endurance. Covering a distance of 2.5 kilometers, this course pushes participants to perform at their peak, combining speed, strength, and strategy to overcome a series of advanced obstacles.

The second — Cub Category — is specially designed for children aged 5 to 12 years old. This 1-kilometer course introduces young participants to the spirit of obstacle racing in a safe, fun, and educational environment. It aims to nurture confidence, teamwork.

The third and most inclusive division is the Open Category, covering 5 kilometers and welcoming participants of all ages and physical abilities. Whether competitors are first-timers, fitness enthusiasts, or teams of friends and colleagues, this category emphasizes participation, determination, and community spirit over competition.

Across all categories, competitors face 10 diverse obstacles strategically placed along the racecourse. These challenges simulate natural environments and require a combination of physical and mental skills—climbing, running, jumping, crawling, and carrying weights—to successfully complete.

Each obstacle is designed to inspire courage and perseverance, while fostering teamwork, communication, and mutual encouragement among participants.

The championship is supported by a range of organisations and companies specializing in challenge sports, reflecting the growing recognition of the event’s impact on promoting active lifestyles and community engagement. With this strong backing, the Arab Warrior Championship is expected to draw a large audience and wide participation, transforming the venue into a festival of energy, excitement, and camaraderie.

More than just a competition, the Arab Warrior Championship represents a new generation of obstacle racing that is rapidly gaining global popularity. It continues to evolve year after year, introducing innovative course designs, new physical challenges, and enhanced participant experiences.

Guided by the highest international standards, the championship aims not only to test endurance and athleticism but also to celebrate sportsmanship.
