CHALLENGE Sir Bani Yas

The Challenge Sir Bani Yas swim is set in the turquoise crystal-clear waters of the Arabian Gulf and is positioned on the southeast of the island, protected from swells, and offering calm waters. The bike follows the smooth fast rolling surface of the ring road circuit, taking athletes around the entire island with a chance to catch a glimpse of the abundant wildlife (the cheetahs and hyenas are safely in enclosures!) and the natural island beauty. The newly laid road ensures a smooth ride and with no traffic to contend with. While the ring road is flat, the islands connecting roads which wind through the centre of the island will test athletes’ climbing legs and offer stunning views of the island. To finish, the run is a flat and smooth-running course over one of the most scenic and unique race routes, the aqua blue Arabian Gulf in full view, rugged natural landscapes, and native wildlife to race against as you approach the finish line.
