“Great event and weekend away! - Great event and super weekend away destination. A little extra directional signage at the roundabouts and at the start of the run course would be an easy improvement. Great breakfast! Hands down the best bike course on a short course I've ridden in the UAE. Will be back!”

“Great event, course, atmosphere, prize-giving. - Very nice to have the breakfast afterwards in the ball room. Swim location was brilliant. Nice to have hills in UAE to cycle up! Was a bit dodgy when cars were reversing out of the parking spaces along corniche while we were cycling past. The bike racks in the transition definitely have potential for improvement. Great event. Thanks for organising it! Highly recommendable!!”

“Great Organisation - This was my first time participating in a triathlon. I was dreading the cycling part as I am used to indoor cycling only. The organization of the event was top notch. The big inflatable monsters in the sea made the swimming part so easy. The organization of the roads and especially the roundabouts was so safe that I did not panic for one second. The organizers were really friendly and cheerful which made the whole experience memorable. I would definitely participate again.”

“Great location and well organised - Beautiful scenario”

“Very Well Organized - This was one of the best-organized events events I've been to. I addition, the scenery on the course was outstanding, and the hills on the ride were an added challenge. One small improvement might be to separate the outgoing and incoming runners by setting up cones or at least indicating which side of the sidewalk to take: I almost collide with people going the opposite direction.”

“Great event... need more water - This was my first time taking this event and enjoyed the course especially the bike route. My only criticism is towards the lack of water out on the short course run. The water stations seemed to be set up at approximately 500m and 1.5km from the finish, perfect for the super sprint but left those of us on the short course without water for over 3k. It would have been good to see a third station down towards the short course turn around point.”
