The Ice Warrior Challenge is back for its 16th edition on Sunday, 14 September 2025, at Ski Dubai, Mall of the Emirates.

Participants Awaiting This Year
This year’s edition features more than 20 unique challenges that will test endurance, strength, and teamwork. Competitors can expect everything from rope walls and monkey bars to tyre runs and icy plunge pools, all set in sub-zero conditions. Organizers designed the 3.5 km course to push limits while maintaining a light, energetic atmosphere that’s accessible to different fitness levels.
The appeal lies in its inclusivity. Whether you are a first-timer looking for a fun new experience or a fitness enthusiast aiming to beat personal records, the Ice Warrior Challenge offers something for everyone.
Categories for Every Fitness Level
To ensure all participants find their match, the challenge is split into three categories:
- Elite – Designed for those who can complete the course in under 25 minutes. Entry fee: AED 280.
- Individual – Open to all fitness levels with an entry fee of AED 250.
- Team – Gather a group of five and tackle the course together for AED 200 per person.
Organizers reward every finisher with a commemorative medal and an exclusive Ice Warrior souvenir T-shirt once the timing chip is returned. These keepsakes serve as a reminder of the effort and thrill of taking part in one of Dubai’s most distinctive events.
Tickets Now Available
Entry passes for the Ice Warrior Challenge are available online, with the standard registration priced at AED 210. Participants who wish to take on the more competitive categories can opt for Elite or Team entries. Organizers recommend securing a spot early, as previous editions have attracted hundreds of challengers from across the UAE and beyond due to the event’s popularity.
A Challenge Beyond Fitness
The Ice Warrior Challenge is more than a sporting event. It’s a community gathering where participants of all ages and backgrounds come together to test themselves in a unique environment. Past editions have seen residents and visitors between the ages of 15 and 60 take part, showcasing its wide appeal.
The spirit of the challenge is not just about speed or stamina but also about resilience and camaraderie. Teams often cheer each other through obstacles, making the event as much about teamwork and perseverance as it is about athletic performance.
In a city that thrives on world-class experiences, the Ice Warrior Challenge offers something distinct. Few events combine the thrill of fitness with the novelty of competing on snow in the heart of the desert. Set against the backdrop of Ski Dubai’s slopes, it highlights the city’s ability to create unparalleled experiences for its residents.
