Abu Dhabi is to host another world-class sporting event, the $250,000 Abu Dhabi International Triathlon (ADIT). This latest addition to Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority’s (ADTA) burgeoning sports event portfolio, aims to become an ‘instant classic’ when it debuts in the United Arab Emirates’ capital city on March 13, 2010.
The inaugural ADIT will feature two distances, a long course event and a shorter half distance event.. Professionals will be tested across a 3kms swim, followed by a 200kms cycle and finishes with a 20kms running leg. The shorter version, at half the length, has a 1.5kms swim, a 100kms cycle and a 10kms run.
