In a change to the terms and conditions of entry please see new requirements:

COVID 19 Negative Test Result Required (max 96 hrs prior to event pack collection)!!

• To limit the possible spread of the virus we request that all riders are free of the virus so that we can operate the pods as per previous years in groups of max 40 people. You will also be required to sign a waiver agreeing to the terms and conditions of the event. Rider Guide available for download below.

• Note that cycle jersey will NOT be in your event bag. These will be available 2-3 weeks after the event. Due to the uncertaintly of many things including sports events, your jersey will only be ordered once the event has taken place – we hope you understand the reasons for this.

This unique, non-competitive cycle challenge taking you east from the coastal Sharjah lagoons, through the stunning Hajar Mountains across to the east coast of Kalba and then north all the way to Fujairah and your final destination, Le Meridien Al Aqah – the route stretches 215km (Last year’s diversions were enjoyed so much by riders that the route this year will include the same back roads of Kalba and stretch to 215km for the full challenge) with approx 1300m of elevation along smooth tarmac roads, winding through dunes, over mountain climbs and along the beautiful east coast highway to the finish where you can enjoy the fine sandy beaches of Fujairah.

SPEED PODS AND HOW THEY WORK

A ‘speed pod’ is a group of riders riding at a designated speed. The ‘pods’ will be organised based on the km speed you have estimated you will average and have submitted on your registration, so please be honest. Each rider pod (max 45 riders) will start out approx 2 mins apart. Participants wishing to ride in the same ‘pod’ we will do our best to accommodate you, but please ensure you fill in the same TEAM name for each rider on registration, and understand that you must all cycle at the same pace/speed. If you are registered as a lower/higher speed than the majority of the other team members, you will be assigned a speed pod according to your registered speed.

GOODY BAGS – Available from Wolfi’s Bike Shop

Race number and pack collection on Wednesday 18th and Thursday 19th. Packs will NOT be taken to the start line, so please ensure you collect prior to race day. ONLY International or participants living outside of Dubai can request event day pick-up upon registration.

Your pack contains your bib and other goodies (bib MUST be attached to your BACK during the event please).
