Sheikh Hamdan gets to grips with the 5km Spartan course in this image from his Instagram account.

The 2015 Spartan Challenge held at the Jebel Ali Racecourse. Two contestants climb down an obstacle while a third looks on.

Participants pose with a big Spartan warrior helmet at the finish line.

True to Spartan form — a man launches a spear aiming to hit a target made out of a hay bail and wood.

A man leaps over a fire pit — the last obstacle before crossing the finish line.

Three participants climb knotted ropes and tap the top of the beams to complete one of the challenges.

Participants start the race off.

A couple supports each other as they cross a mud obstacle.

Runners go through a section of the course as a sandstorm covers the Dubai skyline.

Two challengers make their way along a climbing wall.

The field sets off at a brisk pace from the starting line.
