The Ice Warrior Challenge returns to Ski Dubai this September

It is the coolest obstacle course in the city

Consider yourself a pretty active person. A thrill-seeker? Maybe a challenger? If the answer is yes, sign up for the brrr-illiant Ice Warrior Challenge in Dubai.

Now in its 16th edition, the Ice Warrior Challenge will take place on Sunday, September 14, at Ski Dubai in Mall of the Emirates. It’s one of the coolest spots in the city, and on the day, it will be transformed into a thrilling obstacle course complete with more than 20 high-intensity obstacles, including rope walls, ice pools, monkey bars, tyre runs, net crawls, and ‘snow’ much more.

Sound like something you want to tackle? Book your early bird tickets now on premieronline.com. Prices start from Dhs210, but remember, you need to be quick if you want to secure this rate.

Last year, over 600 participants from 70 countries came together for the event. And you don’t have to be a huge adrenaline junkie, as people of varying fitness levels can sign up. There are no age restrictions either, with the challenge open to males and females between the ages of 15 and 60.
