    Approximately 1,000 people will flock to The Waterfront on Friday near Jebel Ali for the duathlon and triathlon races with various distances to choose from, before the annual Dubai International Triathlon (DIT) takes centre stage a day later.

    Now in its third year, DIT has gone from strength to strength since launching in 2014, attracting hundreds of competitors and this year will be no different as participants pit themselves against each other in the 1.9km swim and a 90km bike ride, followed by a 21.1km run.

    Registration can be done by visiting premieronline.com, with individual and group entries available while corporates can benefit from a discount rate. Tri Fest closes on Tuesday and DIT on Wednesday.

    Race ME are no strangers to organising events of this kind.

    Their triathlon and duathlons have proved to be a huge success and with 2017’s edition set in a new location in Jebel Ali, there’s even more reason to join.

    “Jebel Ali offers an ideal setting for competitors with its calm waters and car-free cycle route and the closed roads of the new venue were an extremely important factor in our decision to select Jebel Ali for this year’s triathlon festival because safety is always our number one priority”, said Paul Venn, race director.

    “We have kept the course compact with swimmers, cyclists and runners all converging and passing through the start/finish area to make it more interesting for spectators. There are races for all abilities from small children to beginner and advanced adults.

    “Even if you’re not competing, there’s plenty of activities that will keep you entertained.

    “It’s not just about the athletes; spectators will be well catered for with our various food trucks, retail stands and kids entertainment. We have made this weekend a celebration of sport where athletes’ family and friends can cheer on the competitors and be well looked after.”
