Challenge Sir Bani Yas is a middle-distance race on a private Arabian wildlife island. Flat, closed roads and warm Gulf water make it exceptionally fast for a winter-season race.
1.9 km warm, flat sea swim in the sheltered Gulf waters off Sir Bani Yas Island - typically 22-24°C and non-wetsuit.
90 km almost pancake-flat ride on the island's smooth private roads through the wildlife reserve; wind and heat are the only resistance.
21.1 km flat run on island roads and coastal paths through the nature reserve.
Actual monthly averages from the last 3 years (Open-Meteo). Real race day may vary.
Water temp uses athlete-reported values first, then official race data, then the marine archive (sea swims, measured at the nearest offshore point). Values tagged est. are modelled from recent air temperature for lakes and rivers, where no observational data exists.
