Hatta: Spartan racing is all about inspiring and engaging people towards a healthy lifestyle according to Emirati racer Abdullah Al Baloushi.
A recent convert to Spartan races, Al Baloushi has been around the world enjoying every moment during the races. On Friday, the UAE native will be among the top competitors vying for honours at the XDubai Spartan Beast, Round One of the Middle East Championship.
“Merely participating in Spartan races changed my entire perspective towards life and living it to the fullest,” Al Beloushi told Gulf News.
“There was a mind-shift on how we look at each other in the gym. And slowly it hit me that it really doesn’t matter what I do because it has nothing to do with me. It is about us … about all of us,” he added.
“It’s also about inspiring others and challenging ourselves. You can change the lives of others. I want to inspire kids and improve the community and Spartan race is the best to do this. The fight is inside as much as the outside because the race exposes your strengths and your weaknesses.”
