On Friday, hundreds of residents braved the elements to take part in the Desert Warrior Challenge.<\/p>\n

There was a 5km and 10km option with various obstacles to navigate throughout the trail.<\/p>\n

Lovin Dubai gave it a go; our group separated with one member finishing up in 44 minutes while the rest of us tumbled in after about an hour and thirty minutes…but it’s the taking part that counts right?!<\/p>\n

(If you missed this one; Pink Ladies is up next on October 27, followed by Spartan on November 10 and Tough Mudder on December 8 and 9. Don’t miss out, get involved now<\/a>)<\/p>\n

These will give you an idea of what the event is really like<\/h3>\n

1. Groups started in stages<\/h4>\n<\/p>\n
