Endurance Lifestyle is a format event that takes place each year in Italy in enchanting locations throughout the amazing Italian territory. The 2015 edition took place in Tuscany; the Hippodrome of San Rossore and the Regional Park Migliarino San Rossore Massaciuccoli were the main spots.
The most important and ancient horse competition in Italy, Endurance Lifestyle is organised by the Italian marketing, communication and event management company, SistemaEventi, and features Meydan as its main sponsor.
The aim of the international event is to merge the deepest nature with an endurance sport, and precisely with the 'Sport of Shaikhs'.

It is also conceived as a moment for the promotion of mutual economic development and for the creation and fostering of synergies between Italy and the UAE. Indeed, beyond the discipline of endurance, Endurance Lifestyle has become a kermesse full of initiatives and events of excellence, developed in a four-day span fully dedicated to sport, business, networking, culture, tourism, social responsibility and entertainment.
