There’s a 12km run up the capital’s highest mountain

It’s easy to stay in shape in Abu Dhabi, thanks to so many great fitness classes and free fitness programmes.

If you’ve ever wishes for more of a challenge then you’re in luck.

The Jebel Hafeet Challenge is returning on October 25 to lay down the gauntlet for runners in Abu Dhabi.

Runners will be tasked with the daunting challenge of getting up Abu Dhabi’s highest peak Jebel Hafeet.

The 1,240m climb will cover a distance of 12.5km and it’s not for the faint hearted.

At least if you make it to the top you can take in the amazing view over Al Ain from the summit.
