Dubai’s most popular mass-participation cycling race is back in 2021 with a new Q1 race date. Save the date in your diaries for the Spinney’s Dubai 92 Cycle Challenge 2021 as 25-26 March 2021.

Organisers announced on Wednesday that the main event, the 92km Adult Race, will roll out on March 26, 2021 while the Junior Race of the region’s favourite amateur cycling event will take place a day earlier on March 25.

The Spinneys Dubai 92 Cycle Challenge is one of the Middle East’s premium sporting races, regularly attracting thousands of riders from all over the world. The event celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2019 with 1,500 cyclists taking part in three build-up rides and 2,500 competing in the final race.

Confirmation of the dates means the region’s growing cycling community can start planning ahead for their big day. To help riders get in premium condition, a series of build-up rides is already underway at the Al Qudra Cycle Track on the outskirts of Dubai.

The build-up ride - 1 was a huge success, with almost 400 participants pedalling 37kms at Al Qudra earlier this year.

Three more build-up rides, each of increasing distance, are now available for registration, along with the main events in March.

The next build-up ride is confirmed for December 18 and participants can register at www.cyclingchallenge.ae.
