ABOUT US

It’s has been a great pleasure for me to take part in the Race Night events over the past few years. Racing is not only an opportunity for me to challenge and push myself, it revives old memories of that young *me* back in high school. It’s also nice other old athletes taking part in it. We got to meet each other and share old memories which brings bonds between us. It also give a chance to inspire our younger brothers and kids.

I definitely look forward to this coming season.

Thank you for organising such a great event.

“I have been at Ultimate many years and enjoy it very much. All of the coaches are kind and push you to your limits. The Racenights allow you to track your progress throughout the season whilst encouraging everybody to work hard and improve PB’s (whilst still having fun!).”

“Ultimate athletics race nights are an awesome event to really promote athletics in the UAE. Compared to the UK the level of competition over here is completely different, so it is nice to see a company that are trying to get more and more people involved and raise the level of competition. It’s just a shame that there’s no electronic timing as it would be awesome to get on the British ranking system in future events, as the tracks and conditions are ideal for running fast times!”

“The Ultimate 60m with New Balance is a great opportunity for athletes over 30 to challenge themselves and others from various sporting backgrounds, in a friendly but competitive all out sprint race. As a masters International 400m hurdler, although such a short sprint is out of my comfort zone, I enjoy the buzz and love meeting like minded runners. The past couple of years I’ve used the race nights as an opportunity to sharpen up, before successfully medalling at World and European championships.”

“There are a couple of reasons why I always take part in the racenight; first to inspire the young’s who wish to take running as a profession; secondly to improve my personal best especially in the 3k; third to check on the progress of my training.
With the benefits, I get to see my weakness during the race and also get to know where I loose time from when I start to tire out.
The atmosphere is quite good because you get to meet a lot of people, the cheering is good as well. The fact that there are a couple of races going on you get the see how other people are running.
I always want during my first race of the season to get my personal best time or meet record before I start tiring out with many races, so I will be heading for a personal best God willing.”

“Ultimate Athletics racenights are a great source of competition and offers people of all ages and ability the platform to compete and test themselves. Being a National level athlete these racenights allow me to monitor how well my training is going and I am able to compete in competitive races whilst in the UAE. Quality competitions, that is well organized, that offers a great atmosphere and competitive events is hard to come by in the UAE and Lisa is doing a fantastic job of providing all 3 and more.”

“Racenight is the perfect opportunity to put all the training together and into practice. It gives athletes along with their coaches a regular goal to work towards and the aim is to improve as well as maybe show areas that need improvement for next time. I look forward to getting to race against others that I don’t necessarily train with – it’s good to get together with like minded peers on a night like Racenight where we are all there to race the best we can and support each other.”
