The championship, which was organised by Abu Dhabi Sports Council and Spartan - a leading endurance sports brand - in Abu Dhabi for the second consecutive year, saw the participation of over 5000 men and women athletes from more than 80 countries. The athletes conquered a number of challenging obstacles - including A-Frame Cargo, Atlas Carry, and Ape Hanger – during the two-day championship. The event also featured a myriad of local traditions and flavor, including local fare, cultural demonstrations, and some good old fashion dune buggies. In addition, this is the second time in the history of this championship that it was held outside the United States.
