Abu-Dhabi-2

 The 2012 Abu Dhabi International Triathlon is on-track to fill the 2,100 places earmarked for the March 3rd event – an increase of more than 30 percent over 2011.

More than 1,500 participants from 58 countries have signed up for the race, which offers a selection of distances to accommodate athletes of all abilities.

The 223km ‘long course’ boasts a 3km swim, a 200km cycle and 20km closing run - the same distance the world class elite will battle it out on. Ambitious newcomers can choose to tackle the ‘short’ course, at half the length, with a 1.5km swim, a 100km cycle and a 10 km run.
 
For those wanting to set the pace, the sprint course offers a 750m swim, a 50kmbike and 5km run. Both the short and sprint distance also offer the option of a relay entry, encouraging like-minded friends, families and colleagues to take up the Abu Dhabi International Triathlon challenge.
