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.

Kuwait Flour Mills and Bakeries Company (KFMB) has launched four product which are Gluten Free. These are subsidized just like all of their other products. This takes place as they have just opened the first factory for gluten free products. (CLICK HERE to read about the article in 'The Times Kuwait')

A post by the blogger 'A-O' on his blog 'Kuwaiti-Trailmix' gives more information on the above subject & the reasons why Gluten Free products (subsidized) are necessary for certain people. (People who have celiac disease or even the ones allergic to Gluten who cannot take regular Bakery products) CLICK HERE to read the post.

I came across the articles through 'Mark' on his blog '248am'. CLICK HERE for the post. I was originally planning to write about this in sometime, but going through some of the articles and after going through the Gluten Free products, thought why to delay. One of the main things people should know is that these gluten free products are available across certain factory outlets. As mentioned in A.O post & on KFMB pamphlets it is better or easier for people to call up and check whether the products are available. CLICK HERE for the post by Sala6a on the same subject.

Now we come to the point about their products. Mark and A.O. both have also mentioned about the products and its price list. Also KFMB has put info about it in their pamphlets. I wanted to add some more information, like the weight of the products or the number of pieces one gets when purchasing this. Also how long will the products remain on the shelf or in simple terms - when do they expire.

The products are as follows:

Sliced Loaf of Bread - Toast: 700 fils (400 grams - Around 12 slices, one slice 30.8gm is 1.5cm or 1/2 in.) Expiry date 5 days.
Hamburger Buns: 690 fils (240 grams - 4 pieces of Hamburger Bun each weighing 60 gms, Diameter of around 9 cm or 3 1/2 in, thickness around 4.5 cms or 1 3/4in) Expiry date 5 days.

Vanilla Cupcakes: 390 fils (100 grams - 2 cupcakes, one cupcake 50 gms is diameter 6.5 cm or 2 1/2 in. and depth over 4cm or 1 3/4 in) Expiry date 8 days.

Kuwait Flour Mill & Bakeries company has always been coming up with products which definitely are useful and essential. I believe nearly everyone in Kuwait, around 4 million in population takes in one product of KFMB, be it the European bakery section - with breads or Croissant & other products, Arabic bakery section, Biscuit Factory, Vegetable Oils, Macaroni Factory. If not this way then indirectly through the Mill section or Animal Feed section.
