History
The Battle Fitness Festival is an all encompassing fitness festival that was created in 2013 by Circuit+ Fitness. The initiative began with the goal of creating an annual competition that would unite the excitement of competitive fitness and the thriving athletic communities in the Middle East under one roof. Over the years, this initiative grew to attract athletes from all around the globe. 
In 2013, The Battle of the East saw a total of 100 athletes from 22 different countries participate in the competition.
In 2014, we saw this number jump to 115 athletes from 35 different countries, as we worked hard on improving the athletes’ and spectators’ experience.
In 2015, we raised the bar for our Arab athletes by opening up the competition to athletes from all over the world, and not just the GCC. This added a new competitive edge that pushed everyone to perform with even more heart and passion.
In 2016, we raised the bar once more, by bringing together the caliber of The Athlete Games, The Super Team Cup, and the newly perfected Saracen Race all under one roof.
