Dubai Ride T-Shirt 2026: How to Get It Free and Where to Collect It
Dubai Ride 2026 has a free T-shirt, but only for riders who choose a size in the booking form, from Adult XS to 3XL or Junior M and L, and the form says shirts are subject to availability. You collect it with your bib at the Zabeel Park Fitness Village from 28 to 31 October. The colour is not announced.
Dubai Ride 2026 has a T-shirt, and it costs nothing, but you only get one if you ask for it when you book. You choose a size in the booking form for Dubai Ride on Sunday 1 November, and you collect the shirt with your bib at Zabeel Park between 28 and 31 October.
Two things catch people out. If you choose No T-shirt in the form, you cannot add one later without cancelling your booking. And the form itself says T-shirts are subject to availability, so booking early matters.

Is There a Dubai Ride Jersey?
No cycling jersey has been announced for Dubai Ride 2026. What riders get is a T-shirt. The official FAQ and the booking form only ever say "T-shirt", and the size chart gives T-shirt measurements for chest and length.
The only jerseys in the official FAQ belong to the Dubai Ride marshals, who wear green and blue marshal jerseys so you can find them on the route. If you want a real cycling jersey, with a zip and back pockets, you buy your own.
How to Get the Dubai Ride T-Shirt
You get the Dubai Ride T-shirt by choosing a size when you book the ride, and then collecting it with your bib. There is no other way. You cannot ask for one at the collection counter, and it is not sold.
- Open the Dubai Ride booking form on dubaifitnesschallenge.com and log in, or create a free Dubai Fitness Challenge account.
- In the Participants part, go to T-shirt and pick your size. Do not leave it on No T-shirt.
- Pick a size for each child you add under Your family. Junior sizes are M and L.
- Finish the route and review parts and press Submit. Check the sizes in the Participants summary first.
- Collect the T-shirt with your bib at Zabeel Park between 28 and 31 October.
Our Dubai Ride registration guide walks through every part of the form, field by field.
If you already booked without a T-shirt
A Dubai Ride booking cannot be changed, so the only way to add a T-shirt is to cancel and book again. The booking page says: "You cannot amend your registration. If you need to make any changes, please cancel and re-register."
To do it, log in, open My events, press Cancel registration, then book again and choose a size. Your route and start gate are chosen again too, so note them before you cancel. Because shirts are subject to availability, there is no promise that your size will still be there when you book the second time.
Dubai Ride T-Shirt Sizes
The form offers seven adult sizes, from XS to 3XL, and two junior sizes, M and L. The size chart linked in the form gives the chest and length of each one in centimetres.
The chest figures run from 46cm to 64cm, which is the width of the shirt laid flat, not the measurement around your body. So the easiest way to choose is to lay a T-shirt that fits you flat on a table and measure it straight across, under the arms. Then pick the size with the closest chest figure.
For children, there is no junior S. A Junior M is 48.5cm across the chest, only 2.5cm narrower than an adult S. So for a small child the shirt will be big, and you can choose No T-shirt instead.
Dubai Ride T-Shirt Collection
You collect your T-shirt together with your bib at the Dubai Municipality 30x30 Fitness Village in Zabeel Park, from Wednesday 28 to Saturday 31 October 2026. The organisers' announcement, as reported by Gulf Today, names Gate 2 of Zabeel Park. Nothing is posted to you.
- Hours: the official FAQ says collection times are given during registration. They are not on a public page.
- What to bring: your registration QR code, on your phone.
- Someone else can collect for you. The FAQ says friends and family can collect on your behalf with your registration QR code.
- No collection on ride morning. Saturday 31 October is the last day.
Our Dubai Ride bib collection guide covers how to get to Zabeel Park and the best day to go.
Do you have to wear the T-shirt on the day?
No. It is on the official list of things to bring, but not on the list of what is mandatory. The FAQ asks riders to bring "a fully operational bicycle, helmet, attached bib number, Dubai Ride T-shirt and a filled water bottle". The mandatory items are only the bike, the helmet and the attached bib. So wear the shirt if you have it, and if you did not get one, any comfortable sports top is fine.
Dubai Ride T-Shirt Colour and Design
The colour and design of the 2026 Dubai Ride T-shirt have not been announced. On 15 October 2026 the official Dubai Ride page, the FAQ and the booking form showed no picture of the shirt. The size chart in the form is printed on a green background, but that is the chart's design, not a picture of the shirt.
We will add the colour here when the organisers show the shirt, or when it is first handed out on 28 October.
FAQs
Can I buy the official Dubai Ride T-shirt?
No. The official site does not sell it, and no shop has been named. It is given only to riders who chose a size in the booking form.
Is the Dubai Ride T-shirt the same as the Dubai Run T-shirt?
No. They are separate shirts for separate events. Dubai Ride shirts are collected from 28 to 31 October, and Dubai Run shirts from 2 to 21 November, both at Zabeel Park.
Can I exchange my T-shirt size at the collection counter?
The official site does not say. Sizes are chosen in the booking form, and a booking cannot be changed, so measure before you book.
Do children get a Dubai Ride T-shirt?
Yes, if the parent picks a size for them when booking. The junior sizes are M and L.

The booking form needs a log-in, so its T-shirt sizes, size chart and labels were read from the page's published content, not by filling it in. No account was created and no form was submitted.
