Abu Dhabi International Triathlon 2010
Description: Abu Dhabi is to host another world-class sporting event – the US$250,000 Abu Dhabi International Triathlon (ADIT). This latest addition to Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority’s (ADTA) burgeoning sports event portfolio, aims to become an ‘instant classic’ when it debuts in the United Arab Emirates’ capital city on 13th March 2010. The adrenaline-pumping event, which is aimed at attracting up to a 1,000 triathletes, including the world’s top 40 professionals, boasts a testing 223kms ‘pure power’ course and will mark the debut of a race of this length and discipline distances. The route has been specially designed to take in a host of Abu Dhabi city landmarks. A second 111.5kms route, which can be run as a team relay event, is also available, with both distances open to elites and amateurs. The ADIT format, with a finishing running leg shorter than typical Ironman events, allows athletes to recover faster and compete more often – a factor which has been identified as crucial to international triathlon community success. ADTA, which uses sport as a destination awareness-building platform to promote the emirate as a rapidly emerging business and leisure destination of distinction, believes ADIT will quickly become a top-tier fixture on the annual global triathlon racing calendar.
Description: The course has been designed to ensure athletes experience the very best of Abu Dhabi. The swim section will take place in the stunning lagoon shadowed by the world famous 6 star Emirates Palace hotel. The bike course will weave through the unmistakable scenery of the city of Abu Dhabi, featuring tree-lined roads, landscaped parks and gardens and the sparkling waters of the Arabian Gulf, which surround the city. It will also pass via iconic landmarks such as The Emirates Palace Hotel, The Sheikh Zayed Mosque and The Corniche all under the safety of completely closed roads.
Description: To the east of the city the bike route passes over Saadiyat Island and on to another attraction sure to whet the appetite of the cyclist; the brand new sports and leisure island known as Yas Island. Here you will cycle round the Yas Marina Formula One Circuit which hosts the final race of the 2009 F1 season.
Description: By the time you finish the run section of the course on the coastal boulevard to the west of the city you will have taken in many of the areas of Abu Dhabi that make the emirate one of the most sought after tourist destinations in the world. The course is designed to ensure both professional and amateur athletes are challenged it will be a unique, world class event promising an incomparable level of competitor experience and excitement.
