You have seen Game of Thrones star Hafthor Julius Bjornsson, known as The Mountain, display his brute strength in a crackling duel in the hit TV series. Now, here’s a chance to meet the Icelandic strong man in person.
The actor will participate in the Etisalat Fitness Fest, an event that promotes a healthy lifestyle, taking place between November 5 and 7 at Dubai Autodrome.
Bjornsson will be displaying his strength in a series of strong man demonstrations as well as presenting the prizes for the UAE’s strongest man and woman competitions. Die-hard Game of Thrones fans will also have a chance get up close and personal with the actor in a meet and greet.
World’s Fittest Woman Camille Leblanc-Bazinet, a Canadian professional CrossFit athlete, will also share her fitness skills.
The inaugural fitness fest will see a series of health-related activities next month such as the UAE’s fastest man and woman competition and the UAE’s strongest man and woman contests.
“The Superheroes 5k Family Fun Run, Walk And Ride is a great way to involve the whole family in an event that encourages a fit and healthy lifestyle in a non-competitive environment. Children can run, walk or ride [scooters, bikes, skateboards and rollerblades are all allowed] the 5K, making this exceptional fun. Children love to dress up and act as their favourite superheroes and bringing this together with the theme of Etisalat Fitness Fest, we are catering to the whole family,” said Chris Fountain, Managing Director of Turret Media, organisers of Etisalat Fitness Fest, in a statement.
