After the remarkable success of the 2024 debut, we are confident that the 2025 edition will attract global attention, contribute to the local enemy, and highlight Dubai’s diverse offerings to international audiences.”
Eisa Sharif, Director of Sports Events at the Dubai Sports Council, highlight the success of inaugural edition of 2024, and revealed ambitious plans to elevate the event in 2025:
“We were delighted to host the T100 Triathlon World Tour in Dubai for the first time last November. The race was a valuable addition to our growing calendar of diverse sporting events, particularly as part of the successful Dubai Fitness Challenges.
Dubai has firmly established itself as a global hub for triathlons, offering events for men, women, professionals, and amateurs. With world-class infrastructure and local expertise, we are well positioned to host major international competitions.”
He added: “The T100 brought together the world’s top triathletes, including Olympic champions, and crowned the first-ever men’s and women’s T100 World Champions – Belgium’s Marten Van Riel and America’s Taylor Knibb – both delivering outstanding performances.”
“Equally significant was the enthusiastic participation of nearly 10,000 amateur athletes across the 100km and Sprint races, as well as in the untimed 5km Music Run, which welcomed participants of all ages and abilities. This community race aligned perfectly with the Dubai Fitness Challenge’s goal of encouraging 30 minutes of activity for 30 days.”
“For 2025, we are working closely with the PTO to extend all three race categories. In addition, we will introduce a Schools Events and a Corporate Relay, further enhancing community engagement and reinforcing our vision of promoting healthy, active lifestyle to improve the quality of life in Dubai.”
