Dubai T100 Triathlon has marked its two-week countdown as it gears up for three days of racing, fitness, and family fun at Al Mamzar from November 13-15.
Returning for its third edition as part of the 10th Dubai Fitness Challenge, the event brings together professional athletes, amateur competitors and first-time triathletes.
The weekend features three race distances, with athletes swimming off the Al Mamzar coastline, cycling across Infinity Bridge and running through Al Mamzar Park.
This year's edition hosts a female professional race, with some of the world's best triathletes battling it out ahead of December's Qatar T100 Triathlon World Championship Final.
Leading the field is Switzerland's Julie Derron, Paris 2024 Olympic silver medallist and defending Dubai T100 champion, who returns to Al Mamzar at the top of the T100 Race to Qatar standings.
Among those hoping to challenge her are Great Britain's Georgia Taylor-Brown and reigning T100 World Champion Kate Waugh.
Beyond the racing, the event offers free spectator entry, making it a weekend outing for friends, families and fitness enthusiasts.
Visitors can look forward to cheer Zones and spectator viewing areas, food trucks, kids zone activities, and an Event Village and Expo.
The Event Village and Expo will be open on Friday from 4 pm to 7:30 pm, Saturday from 7 am to 7 pm, and Sunday from 7 am to 5 pm.
