Official Training Camp

In February and March you find perfect training conditions in Al Ain and Abu Dhabi. The average air temperature is between 25 and 30 degrees Celsius. The weather conditions are usually very stable and almost no raindrops can be seen in that area. A 33-meter outdoor pool is available in the hotel complex of the Danat Al Ain Resort. For bike workouts there are different routes, from flat to slightly hilly and there is one mountain (Dtschebel Haffet) with about 900 meters of altitude difference. In general the roads are perfectly paved. For running there are also several variations as for example the Wadi (dried river bed) and the shady oasis.

The triathlon in the city of Abu Dhabi is for sure one of the most exciting races in the world. The swim section will take place in the stunning lagoon shadowed by the world famous 6 star Emirates Palace hotel. The bike course will weave through the unmistakable scenery of the city of Abu Dhabi, featuring tree-lined roads, landscaped parks and gardens and the sparkling waters of the Arabian Gulf, which surround the city. To the east of the city the bike route passes over Saadiyat Island and on to another attraction sure to whet the appetite of the cyclist; the brand new sports and leisure island known as Yas Island. Here you will cycle round the Yas Marina Formula One Circuit. By the time you finish the run section of the course on the coastal boulevard to the west of the city known as the Corniche, you will have taken in many of the areas of Abu Dhabi that make the emirate one of the most sought after tourist destinations in the world.
