The Arabian Warrior is a new Middle Eastern Obstacle Course Racing brand that will launch and run through the 2024/2025 winter season.

Born from the heart of a community that wanted a locally owned and operated series, Arabian Warrior stands as a brand that lives and operates in this region. We draw inspiration from participation in other events across the region, and by listening to sports enthusiasts and OCR fans, have uniquely crafted Arabian Warrior. This an event that is designed and speaks to the region, culture and landscape.

A Race for Everyone

Arabian Warrior will run across the United Arab Emirates, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Qatar for the season ahead.  We are also in discussion with partners in Bahrain, Kuwait and Oman to expand.

Arabian Warrior embodies the spirit of “OCR for All”, offering something for every obstacle course racing enthusiast.  Our events feature distances ranging from the short and intense Al Muharib (5km) to the long challenge of Al Khayali. We also have special formats for Under 14s, team challenges, and a ladies-only heat at every race location. 

Every participant receives a finisher medal, with timing available for all adult races. For those who are looking to push themselves further, podium finishes come with cash prizes for Elite winners and podium medals for Age Group categories. At Arabian Warrior, we truly offer OCR for anyone who wants to test their true potential.
