TriYAS presented by ADNOC 2021 announces that TriKIDS will return with the main event following recent government approvals for under 12-years-olds to compete. All athletes wishing to take part can now register for the event, which takes place on Friday October 15 at Yas Marina Circuit.
Always a highlight among the Abu Dhabi community, the TriYAS presented by ADNOC welcomes all ages, genders, and abilities to put their bodies through a challenging physical test made up of three elements – swimming, cycling and running.
There are two junior events returning for 2021, the first a Junior Triathlon which involves a 200m swim, 10km bike and 2.5km run, open to 10-16yr olds. The second, TriKIDS event will be open to younger children aged 8-14yrs old and features a 100m swim, 5km bike and 1.5km run.
Those under-12 entrants who registered for the original date, will have their place automatically secured for the new date.
There are 8 other separate categories in this year’s event for over 16yr olds, including the brand-new Duathlon Sprint, which involves a 5km run and a 21km bike ride, before coming to conclusion with a 2.5km run.
Entrants wishing to compete on an individual basis can choose from Sprint, Olympic or Super Sprint categories, and for those who would prefer to be involved as part of a group, choose from Sprint Team Relay or Olympic Team Relay options.
TriYAS has always been more than just the triathlon, the members of the local community and beyond gather to enjoy a fun-filled day in the sun surrounded by like minded people willing to push their bodies to the limit and achieve personal goals.
The action begins with the first event at 6.20am and there will be a break between the morning and afternoon sessions due to the high temperatures. Participants will be able to collect Race Packs at TrainYAS on Tuesday October 12 between 6pm and 9pm.
Registrations will close on Tuesday October 12.
The event will be open to spectators who are able to provide a green pass
