Introducing: Everesting

Another day, another amazing fitness achievement by the Dubai fitness community, and this time, they’ve really taken it to a whollllleeeee other level.

Everesting requires participants to cycle the equivalent elevation of Mt Everest – in one go, with minimum breaks, and no sleeping. And two residents, Elizabeth and Olga, both of PWC, took to Jebel Jais to complete the challenge on the last day of Dubai Fitness Challenge.

They rode the 14km stretch up and down Jebel Jais… 12 TIMES

That’s 322 kilometers in total and an elevation gain of 8,850. It took them each just over 27 hours to complete, starting the challenge at 1pm on Friday, 26 and finishing on Saturday, 27 at 4pm, riding all day and all night, with very few breaks and rests.

Everesting is popular globally, but with the stunning Jebel Jais on our doorstep, maybe, just maybe, 12 times up and down doesn’t sound soooo bad?
