Dubai to Host Inaugural Apex Games Fitness Competition
The inaugural Apex Games, a hybrid fitness competition combining running and functional fitness challenges, will take place on June 6 at the Dubai World Trade Centre. Organizers have confirmed that registration for the event is at capacity, with more than 1,200 participants registered across individual, doubles, and team categories.
The event is being developed by CAP Sports and DXB LIVE. To support the technical requirements of the competition, organizers have established a partnership with Technogym, which will serve as the Official Technical and Performance Partner. Under this agreement, the company will provide the equipment necessary for the fitness stations integrated into the race format.
The Apex Games format involves four running stages interspersed with functional fitness challenges designed to assess endurance, strength, and speed. Following the June launch, organizers intend to expand the competition, with plans currently in development to hold four additional events across the region for the second season.
Nick Cartwright, CEO of CAP Sports, stated that the initiative is intended to establish a sporting brand rooted in the UAE. Representatives from DXB LIVE noted that the event aligns with broader efforts to promote active lifestyles and expand the region's sports event calendar.
