T100 Dubai 2026: Course Map, Where to Watch Live Stream

T100 Dubai 2026

In this guide, you will find the course map for the swim, bike and run, and where to watch the live stream. Then come the weekend timetable, the best free places to watch, how to get there, road closures and entry fees.

What Is the Dubai T100 Triathlon?

The Dubai T100 Triathlon is a race weekend for both amateurs and professionals. In a triathlon you swim, then cycle, then run, one straight after the other, and the clock does not stop in between. The name comes from the full distance: 100 kilometres in total, made of a 2km swim, an 80km bike ride and an 18km run.

The Professional Triathletes Organisation (PTO), the company behind the T100 Triathlon World Tour, runs the weekend with Dubai's Department of Economy and Tourism and the Dubai Sports Council. This year's race will be the third Dubai edition, and it is part of the Dubai Fitness Challenge 2026.

There are two kinds of racing:

• Amateur races for anyone who signs up: the Sprint, the Olympic distance (new this year) and the full 100km. You can also race the Sprint and the Olympic as a relay team of three.
• One professional race, for women only. About 20 of the world's best female triathletes will race the 100km distance on Saturday 14 November. The men's pros race in Saudi Arabia instead, and the two fields will meet at the season final in Qatar in December.

This is what the weekend looked like in 2025, when the race took place at Meydan:

T100 Dubai 2026 Course Map

Every race at the Dubai T100 goes in the same order: a swim in the sea at Al Mamzar, a bike ride over Infinity Bridge and back, then a run inside Al Mamzar Beach Park. The Sprint, Olympic and 100km races all use this one course. Only the number of laps changes.

This simple map shows where each part goes. The numbers follow the race order:

Step 1: the swim

The race starts on the beach at Al Mamzar. Athletes do not all start together. They go into the water in small groups at short intervals, and the organisers put people with similar swim times in the same group. Here is the route:

1. Run into the sea from the beach at the start.
2. Swim the loop of buoys anti-clockwise, keeping every buoy on your left.
3. In the Olympic and 100km races, swim the loop twice. At the end of the first lap, you come out, run a few metres on the sand and go straight back in. Triathletes call this an Aussie exit.
4. After your last lap, come out of the water and run up the beach into transition, where your bike is waiting.

The sea should be about 28.6°C in November, which is too warm for wetsuits, so wetsuits are not allowed.

Where to watch: stand on the beach near the start. The groups go in one after another, so the start lasts a while and you have time to spot your friend.

Step 2: the bike

The bike ride is an out-and-back route of 20km on closed roads. You ride out to a turning point and come back on the same roads. Here is the route:

1. Ride out of transition and leave Al Mamzar on Al Khaleej Street, heading west.
2. Pass Al Hamriya Port and Dubai Islands on your right.
3. Ride up and over Infinity Bridge, across the mouth of Dubai Creek.
4. Just after the bridge, near Port Rashid and the QE2, make the U-turn. This is about 10km out, and the only drinks station on the bike course is here.
5. Ride back the same way, over the bridge again, to the roundabout near transition.
6. If you have more laps to do, go round the roundabout and set off again. After your last lap, turn right at the roundabout and follow the "Bike In" signs.

The number of laps depends on your race:

• Sprint: one lap.
• Olympic: two laps.
• 100km: four laps.

Where to watch: most of the bike route is on main roads outside the park, so you will see little of it. Stay near transition and watch the riders leave and come back in.

Step 3: the run

The run stays inside Al Mamzar Beach Park, on a 4km out-and-back course along the park paths, and much of it is in shade. Here is the route:

1. Leave transition in your running shoes and join the park paths.
2. Run the course clockwise. There are three drinks stations on every lap, with water, sports drink and cola.
3. Keep going round until your last lap. On that lap, follow the "Finish" signs. This last lap is shorter than the others.

Each race runs a different number of laps:

• Sprint: 1.5 laps (5km).
• Olympic: 2.5 laps (10km).
• 100km: 4.5 laps (18km).

If you are racing, counting your laps is your job, not the organiser's, and a missed lap can mean disqualification.

Where to watch: the run is the best part to watch. The athletes pass the same spots on every lap, so pick a place on the park paths near the finish and you will see your friend several times.

Where to Watch the T100 Dubai Live Stream

You can watch the women's pro race live and free on TriathlonLive or on the T100 YouTube channel. Coverage will start at 10:05am UAE time on Saturday 14 November, when the race starts, and the pro awards will follow at 2:15pm.

Watch on TriathlonLive

TriathlonLive is the official home of the T100 races. It is free and has no adverts, and it works anywhere in the world, but you need a free account. Set it up the day before:

1. Open TriathlonLive in your browser, or download the app for your phone.
2. Create a free account with your email.
3. On race morning, sign in and open the Dubai T100 women's race a few minutes before 10:05am.

Watch on YouTube

The T100 Triathlon YouTube channel will also show the race live. It works in the UAE but is blocked in Europe. No account is needed. Open the channel's Live tab on race morning, and the Dubai race will be at the top. To get a reminder, subscribe to the channel and tap the bell.

Watch on TV

The organisers have not named a UAE TV channel for the Dubai race yet. beIN Sports is the T100's broadcast partner in the Middle East, but its Dubai listing is not out. Check the beIN Sports schedule in the week of the race, or use the free stream.

Follow live positions and times

For the pro race and the amateur races, the T100 Athlete Tracker app shows each athlete's times, pace and position as they pass each timing point, on a live map of the course. It is free. Search for a friend by name to follow them. The T100 website will post the full results after the race.

Who is racing

The start list on the PTO's statistics site has 20 names and two wildcard places. They include Julie Derron of Switzerland, who won the women's race in Dubai in 2025, and Britain's Georgia Taylor-Brown and Kate Waugh. The list can still change before race day.

What time it starts in other countries

The race will start at 10:05am UAE time. If you are watching from abroad, this is the start time where you are:

The official site gives two different pro start times. See which time we follow and why.

T100 Dubai 2026 Schedule

The Dubai T100 weekend will run from Friday 13 to Sunday 15 November 2026. Friday is for collecting race packs and checking in bikes. The races will be on Saturday and Sunday, and every race will start from the beach.

So if you only want to watch, come on Saturday morning. You can see the Olympic race finish and then the pros start, all before lunch.

Athletes need to know two more times and one rule:

• Bike check-in: you must check in your bike the day before your race, on Friday for the Olympic and on Saturday from 2pm to 6:45pm for the Sprint and the 100km.
• Race morning: transition will be open from 4:30am to 6am.
• Race pack: you must collect it yourself, with your race QR code and photo ID. Nobody else can collect it for you. The only exception is a relay team, where one member can collect the packs for the whole team.

Start times may still change once the road closures are final, so check the event page again on Friday 13 November.

Where to Watch the Dubai T100 for Free at Al Mamzar

Watching the Dubai T100 is free all weekend. You get a free spectator wristband at the car park booth, and it lets you into the park free of charge.

Most of the action is inside the park, so you can walk between these spots:

The run loop is the best place to watch. A 100km athlete passes you four or five times, so you can cheer for a friend again and again. Bring a hat and water, because there is little shade near the beach.

The Event Village will be open from 7am to 7pm on Saturday and from 7am to 5pm on Sunday. This is what you will find there:

• Food and music: food trucks and live music.
• Kids' zone: a play area with ice cream.
• Brand stands: stands from triathlon brands.
• Tri Club Zone: a cheering area that local triathlon clubs will set up next to the village.

How to Get to Al Mamzar Beach Park for the T100

Drive or take a taxi to Al Mamzar Beach Park, at the far end of Deira beside the Sharjah border. There is no Metro station at the park.

• Spectators who drive: use the spectator parking north of the park, and follow the "Spectator Parking" signs as you get close. Staff at the vehicle ticket booth will give you the free wristband.
• Athletes who drive: use Athlete Car Parks E, F and G, and show your race QR code at the park entrance to get in free. Transition is close to Car Park G. On race mornings these car parks are first come, first served, and once they are full you will have to use spectator parking.
• By taxi: there is a drop-off and pick-up zone by the park entrance all weekend.

On race mornings, leave early. The roads on the bike course will be closed, and they include Al Khaleej Street, one of the roads to the park.

Dubai T100 Road Closures

The RTA has not announced the 2026 road closures yet. Last year it announced them on Friday 14 November 2025, the evening before the first race, so expect the 2026 list around Friday 13 November.

The roads most likely to close are the ones on the bike course: Al Khaleej Street from Al Mamzar, Infinity Bridge Road and Infinity Bridge, and the roads near Port Rashid where riders turn. We worked this out from the official course map, so it is not an RTA list.

To give you an idea of the times, these are the closures the RTA announced in 2025, when the race was at Meydan:

The 2026 bike cut-offs, the latest times by which riders must finish the bike leg, also give a clue, because the organisers set them so the roads can reopen on time. These are the times to watch:

• Olympic, Saturday: the last rider must finish the bike by 10:15am.
• Pro race, Saturday: the pros will be on the roads from 10:05am.
• Sprint, Sunday: the last rider must finish the bike by 1:30pm.

If you drive through Deira or over Infinity Bridge that weekend, plan your trip for the afternoon.

Meydan or Al Mamzar? What the Official Pages Say

Everything happens at Al Mamzar Beach Park in 2026. Some official T100 pages still say Meydan, though, because they carry text left over from 2025.

T100 Dubai 2026 Entry Fees and Registration

Entry to the Dubai T100 costs from AED 674 for the Sprint to AED 2,348 for the 100km, plus a 4.99% booking fee. These are the prices Khaleej Times reported in September. The registration site does not show prices until you start to book.

Your race age is the age you will be on 31 December 2026. To sign up, go to the Dubai T100 entry page and press "Register now". On 1 November, none of the races showed as sold out. Refunds are no longer available, because they close 30 days before race day.

The top 10 in each age group in the 100km will win a place at the T100 Age-Group World Championships in Qatar on 11 and 12 December. Every finisher gets a medal, and the race pack includes a T-shirt and a T100 bag.

Things to Know Before You Go

• Dress for the heat. The organiser expects 25°C to 31°C. Spectators need a hat, sunscreen and water. Athletes should cover their shoulders and drink well in the days before.
• No phones or headphones in the race. Athletes may not carry a phone, smart device or headphones on any part of the course.
• Bring a roadworthy bike and helmet. Officials check both at bike check-in. Bike mechanics will be in transition to fix problems on the day.
• Questions: email dubai@t100triathlon.com. The organisers keep lost property for 30 days.
