The iconic cycling event is non-competitive, free to all and features two different routes running through some of Dubai’s most famous landmarks.
The 12km route will be open to fitness enthusiasts and more experienced cyclists willing to take on this exciting challenge, while the other 4km route will be open to families and outdoor enthusiasts.
