· Inaugural event on 16 August 2026 at ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi as part of Abu Dhabi Summer Sports

· Challenge format adapts to individual fitness levels from beginners to seasoned athletes

Abu Dhabi, UAE, 06 August 2026: Abu Dhabi’s newest and most dynamic fitness competition arrives at Abu Dhabi Summer Sports (ADSS) this month with One Pulse – a “No Limits, All in” fitness challenge – launching at ADNEC Centre Abu Dhabi on Saturday, 16 August.

Created in association with 321 Sports by the team behind Hudayriyat Island’s world-class sports and leisure destinations, One Pulse is designed to redefine the traditional fitness race through a unique and highly adaptable format that rewards strategy, determination and effort just as much as speed.

The competition challenges participants to complete 12 exercise stations that combine strength, speed, cardio and endurance. Setting it apart from traditional fitness competitions, each station features three challenging levels, allowing participants to tailor the contest to their abilities. Rather than committing to a single level throughout the course, participants can adjust their chosen level at every station, adapting their strategy based on their performance, strengths and energy levels as they progress.

Welcoming everyone from beginners taking on their first fitness event to everyday gym-goers, seasoned functional fitness athletes, CrossFit enthusiasts, and running clubs, the flexible One Pulse format makes the competition accessible to participants of all fitness levels. Success in One Pulse is measured by the accumulation of Pulse Points (PPs). An innovative scoring model ensures that victory is not determined solely by crossing the finish line first, but by making smart strategic decisions, embracing more challenging exercises, and maximising effort throughout the course.

Jamie Dean, Executive Director of Sports at Modon, which operates 321 Sports on Hudayriyat Island, commented: “One Pulse reflects a commitment to creating active, healthy communities through innovative sporting experiences that are accessible to everyone. More than a test of speed, One Pulse is a strategic and adaptable challenge that rewards determination, resilience and smart decision-making. By removing the traditional model of pre-set difficulty levels, we have created an inclusive competition

where participants of all ages and fitness backgrounds can compete side by side, challenge themselves and experience the excitement of a world-class fitness event.”
