The inaugural Marmoum 30x30 will witness 50 horse riders line up at MAB stables for a 15km endurance test on November 11.
Each rider will cover 5km on horseback, dismount, run 5km on sand, then climb back into the saddle of the same horse for a final 5km.
The endurance race, considered one of Dubai’s proudest sporting traditions, begins at 4 pm and will run for around 90 minutes.
The top three finishers will share a prize purse of AED 100,000, with the first-place winner receiving AED 50,000, the second-place winner receiving AED 30,000, and the third-place awarded AED 20,000.
The race is the first horseback event carried by the Dubai Fitness Challenge.
In its 10th edition, Dubai Fitness Challenge runs from October 31 to November 29, and invites everyone in Dubai to complete 30 minutes of activity a day for 30 days.
