The event will now be officially titled the Spartan Trifecta Powered by ADNOC at Al Ain Zoo, marking a major partnership that combines ADNOC’s commitment to health, fitness, and youth development with Spartan’s global mission to build resilience through sport.

Landmark partnership

As Headline Partner, ADNOC will play a central role in expanding access to the Spartan Trifecta, encouraging participation from athletes, families, and young people across the UAE.

The partnership aligns closely with ADNOC’s broader social responsibility efforts, which champion national fitness initiatives and youth empowerment.

“ADNOC’s support is transformational for Spartan in the UAE. Their focus on wellbeing and youth engagement aligns perfectly with our mission – with ADNOC’s backing, this year’s Trifecta Weekend promises to be our most inclusive and impactful edition yet,” said Isla Watt, Director for Spartan Middle East.

The Spartan challenge returns

The Trifecta Weekend will feature Spartan’s three signature race formats:

• Sprint – 5km with 20 obstacles
• Super – 10km with 25 obstacles
• Beast – 21km with 30 obstacles

Athletes who complete all three across the weekend will claim the prestigious Spartan Trifecta medal.
