A dozen athletes with special needs celebrated after finishing a gruelling endurance challenge in Hatta at the weekend.
They cycled across mountainous terrain for 13km, set off on a trail run for 5.5km and kayaked for a kilometre along with more than 300 people from across the country in the Garmin Quest race on Friday.
It was the first time a group of people with special needs in the UAE took part in a demanding adventure sport challenge.
What they have achieved is truly exceptional
