Living in a big cosmopolitan city like Dubai has its benefits. Specifically talking about the Emirate, you will find that almost every week there’s some sort of sports event to which you can attend or witness, as it has become a priority to promote sports and a healthy lifestyle among the citizens of the middle eastern metropolis.
With the pandemic restrictions becoming more flexible, most outdoors events are coming back, and many new ones are being announced!
Al Mamzar Beach Triathlon
This time, the Al Mamzar Beach Park will host one of the most challenging yet most fun events of the year, with the GRIT+TONIC Triathlon that will be occurring on March 13th of 2022.
The event’s schedule goes like this:
- – The competition will start with the open water swimming at Al Mamzar Beach, followed by a biking circuit, finishing with the run that will follow a designated running track all across the beach.
- – This event is not only the perfect opportunity to have a full-body workout, but also is a great time to enjoy some of the most amazing views of the city: the Al Mamzar beach.
- – This triathlon is advertised for everyone; ladies, gents and families can come and compete either as individual competitors or teams.
- – The competition is divided in different categories, according to the distances (and therefore, sports abilities) and age groups. Your age group will be determined by the age you are during the day of the triathlon.

Safety rules
To ensure the safety of everyone competing, the organizers have prepared a gigantic team of professionals ready to help anyone in need. The swimming part of the circuit will count with several lifeguards in the water checking if everything’s alright.
For the biking course, the organization will close both parts of the road to ensure traffic doesn’t mess up with the flow, and the run will be hosted in a designated track.
Covid-19 measurements
The Covid-19 measurements will also be implemented during the whole event. Different departure hours will be promoted to guarantee a safe distance between groups of competitors, as well as signaling for maintaining the distance between each person from the same group, during all three legs of the triathlon.
Mamzar Beach Triathlon registration fees
Registration has already started and will finish on March 8th or sooner if the event sells out. The registration fee goes from 200 to 330 AED depending on your chosen category and age group.
