“A well organised event, reflected by its smooth running! Great course, 2 loop swim, safe bike course with police providing traffic management. Great transition area! Plenty of aid stations provided and even a lunch box provided at the end of the race... fantastic! Well supported and a good standard of competititors - Great value for money. This series is a massive contribution to the tri-scene in the region and well supported by the tri community :) A big thank you for the organisers taking the time to put on a series of races like this for us to participate regularly! Long may it continue....”
“I was very disappointed that the event clashed with Dubai 92 Cycle Challenge, which I am sure many other triathletes would have competed in. Please try to avoid this clash next year if possible.”
“Race great, but it was disappointing that there was no shirt or other memento for entering, as there are at all other events. Also, I was disappointed that no photos were taken, which we could access.”
“As a first timer I wasn't sure what to expect, thus a bit of trepidation going into it. However, other participants were great, quite helpful and in good humor. Only whinge is that it would have been great to have a t-shirt or some other momento to remember it and share with others. My wife is a crazy marathoner, and though typically in the middle or last third of the pack she brings home a shirt and small medal or other momento. Otherwise a good day out, most appreciated, and I hope to join again in future events!”
“Thanks for the organization. Another great event, will be back! Well done Alain”
“would be nice to have split timings for every phase of the race. Given that the race does not last more than two hours why not to put the starting time a bit later?”

“Thank you for another race, nice to get in competition mode:-) 3 suggestions: - Is it possible to arrange 2 orange marking on the beach as well. Why - everybody will have the same distance and no short cutting on the swim part. - Is it possible to have a timing clock when leaving the beach. Another solution, to have a person reading up the time with 10 sec intervals. Why - to have the swim time before entering T1. - Sponsors are very importent. But if the sandwich is the quality(or lack of) of the one today it doesn't really matter. Try to find another sponsor foodwise, there are so many nice alternatives. ”
“It's a well-run race and fairly convenient. I like the community that's been built around these races. If I had any complaints, it would be that they are too popular. They usually sell out before I can decide if I want to participate. Also, I received my email saying "Now that the race is over, it's time to rate it" at 7:00 am, less than 15 minutes after the start. I like how optimistic the organizers were that I would finish the race so quickly. 5-stars for support.”
