“It’s a great informal family focused event which is great. I know the set up is all temporary would be great if there was more shade provided to try and cool down after. Maybe some more vendors to be able to get food/coffee post race?? ”

“Excellent Triathlon and good organization as usual , just the small water packs at most of the aid stations were horrible to use during running . Please use only bottles like in the previous Race.”

“Excellent organisation throughout - well managed till the end and the trophy celebration! however if i have to say something constructive i would say there is a major lack of cheer during the event. probably due to the remote location and the venue being held in the his part of Dubai - Sharjah - Gusais. No cheers during the race by anyone on the road even the photographer (with long camera) were pulling a face. At finishing line no loud music no one on microphone...”

“Well-organised event. The Super Sports team always does a fantastic job while organising races. I would only recommend splitting Olympic and Sprint for the swim as it's packed if both disciplines start simultaneously. A few more shade tents at the finish line would help as well. ”

“As always, a very well organised and managed event. I also noticed more water stations on the run course, which was very welcome as when we start running the temperature is rising. Great addition. This is a race I will do again and again. ”

“Swim was very messy and dangerous - They let 300+ people go at the same time on a small course. should have staggered the starts”

“Race was pretty well organized with plenty of water stations throughout the course which was key given it was a hot day! Things to improve going forward needs to be the swim start. We need to find another way to stack athletes up. Launching both the sprint and olympic at the same time with a simple "seed yourselves" doesn't work. My first lap was half spent fighting in the water =(”

“A first timer, I thought the event was very well organized, easy to find everything and to navigate through the course (having never done a tri before), plenty of water stations, and easy to find your time and pictures after the race - very well organized! ”

“A wonderfully organised event. My only request is that you space out the Zones a bit more for the swim bit because it was very crowded...”

“Excellent race and I will be sure to attend again. Flat, fast course. Possible areas for improvement: 1) More buoys on the swim. 2) Release swimmers more slowly into the water; the first lap was a washing machine. 3) Start earlier; 2nd loop on the run was HOT. ”

“Really well organized event. Only critique I have is the hairpin in the bike lap was a bit dangerous.... several faster riders took tried to overtake slower riders on the turn itself - it may be better to cut the turn out and use the roundabouts to get the distance for the Olympic event”

Andrew M. - 13.03.2023

“Only issue is the heat during the run - everything else was amazing. Maybe an earlier start or maybe a dusk start? The water stations on the run course were perfect. I understand the challenge is fitting everything in but maybe avoiding the heat of the day on the run would make it more enjoyable for both spectators and athletes. This is the primary reason that I'm not doing Oceanic.”

“First time participating in the race but it didn't disappoint! Job well done by the organisers! Sea lice was expected. Huge speed bumps was not a biggie. Very adequate water stations on the run course considering the heat. Free refreshments at the finish. Superb event! ”

“I enjoyed the race overall but the organisers should either enforce the swim seeding or stagger the Olympic and Sprint starts. I expect a certain level of physicality in the swim but that was the worst In tri experience. Parts it wasn’t so much unpleasant, but dangerous. Rest of the tri was great, great atmosphere and bike/run course. ”

“Olympic and Sprint going into the water together resulted in far too many in the sea at the same time and was almost unsafe. This, coupled with the late finish of the Olympic meant too many runners suffered in the heat. Olympic should have gone in the water at 06:45”

“Another great event- well organised, the marshalls and SuperSports team were great. You can see how popular this event has become now, based on how many participants and supporters there were. It is also a sign of the quality of the event when looking at how many kids are entering- will it reach a point where the event goes to two days? One for kids/ youth and one for adults only?”
