This winter will have you pedalling towards AED 2 million!
Back for the second time, Abu Dhabi Sports Council has announced that the Bike Abu Dhabi Gran Fondo will be held on 18 November 2023.
The 154km route will start from Abu Dhabi and finish in Al Ain, with amateur cyclists competing for a major prize pool split equally between men and women. The race will begin in Al Bahia, where riders will turn onto the E16 road to Sweihan. From there, it turns left onto the E20 road through the sand dunes to Nahil, then right at E95 Street before reaching Al Bidda.
That will be followed by the entry phase into Al Ain city before reaching the finish line at Al Ain Cycle Track.
The race reflects the Emirates’ efforts to promote cycling as a healthy and sustainable mode of transportation.
