Held on Friday, March 18 at Mamzar Beach in Dubai, the conclusion of the event will see the overall series winners, as per the final series rankings, awarded trophies and prizes.

Whether you’re a first-time triathlete or have been conquering the discipline for years, the race, organised by Super Sports Dubai, has various distances to cater to all skill levels and experience.

Ages 12 and under can take part in the Junior Super Sprint, which will consist of a 200 metre swim, an 8 kilometre cycle and 2.5km run. The regular Super Sprint, for ages 13 and above, is slightly extended to a 375m swim, 8km cycle and 2.5km run.

If you have what it takes to step up to the longer distances, you’ll be dealing with a 750m swim, 24km cycle and 5km run in the Sprint, or the grueling 1.5m swim, 40km cycle and 10km run in the Olympic category.

Casual participants can choose to spread the load by forming a relay team of two or three people, with each athlete doing one or two parts of the course.

Those who have accumulated the most points per category will be named overall winners for the series, but first, second and thirdplace finishers of the final race will also receive medals.

To qualify for the final prizes, athletes must have competed in two of three races in the season.
