Dubai T100 triathlon returns in November with races set against city’s iconic landmarks

Dubai is gearing up for another adrenaline-filled weekend as the Dubai T100 returns from November 13 to 16, 2025, as part of the Dubai Fitness Challenge (DFC). Set against the stunning backdrop of the Burj Khalifa, the event will transform the city into a global stage for endurance, fitness, and community spirit.

Athletes will dive into the waters of Jumeirah 3 Beach – Sunset, speed past the renowned Meydan Racecourse, and cross the finish line beneath the shadow of the world’s tallest tower. This year’s race lineup features multiple categories to suit every fitness level—from the Duathlon Relay (5km run, 22km bike, 5km run) to the Sprint Race (750m swim, 20km bike, 5km run) on November 15, and the main 100KM T100 Triathlon (2km swim, 80km bike, 18km run) on November 16.

Adding a fun, musical twist to the weekend, The Music Run also returns on November 15. The 5K event merges fitness with rhythm, offering an inclusive and lively experience for participants of all ages and abilities.

His Excellency Saeed Hareb, Secretary General of the Dubai Sports Council, said the Dubai T100 embodies the emirate’s mission to make physical activity part of everyday life. “By combining elite international competition with community events such as the Music Run, it creates a powerful moment where world-class sport meets grassroots participation,” he said.

Ahmed Al Khaja, CEO of Dubai Festivals and Retail Establishment, noted that the race showcases Dubai’s “energy and diversity,” while positioning its landmarks on the global stage. “From Jumeirah 3 Beach to the Burj Khalifa backdrop at the finish line, the event captures the spirit of Dubai as a vibrant hub of fitness, community, and culture,” he said.

The Dubai T100 weekend, held during the Dubai Fitness Challenge, promises a festive atmosphere with live music, food stalls, and interactive activations for spectators. More details about activities and schedules will be announced soon on t100triathlon.com/dubai/participate.
