CO-FOUNDER & DIRECTOR - PEAKS SPORTS BORN

DANA MATAR

I was born and raised in Lebanon, and I’m a mom of two, an interior architect, an ultra-runner, a sports enthusiast, and an entrepreneur.

I’ve called the UAE home for the past 13 years. My passion for the outdoors began at a young age when I joined the local scouts community in Mount Lebanon back in 1997.

After moving to the UAE, I embarked on my ultra-running journey, exploring the beautiful and rugged terrains of the Emirates. Over time, I began participating in and competing in ultra-trail races both regionally and internationally, which only deepened my love for the sport.

Driven by my passion and dedication, I decided to take a break from the corporate world a few years ago to co-found my own sports company, Peaks Sports. Now, I spend my time organizing trail races and sports events full-time.
