GRIT+TONIC.com Triathlon: Mamzar Race 1/2
“only swimming cap was not good. Everything else was great”
“I just didn't like sharing the running path with pedestrians, leisure bikers and so one.”
“It was a great experience as a first-time triathlete! Might do the individual distance next time...And the vibe was great! ”
“Kudos to the amazing organizers for putting together a flawless triathlon event! From the well-marked course and efficient transitions to the enthusiastic volunteers and top-notch safety measures. Thanks to their hard work, we get to experience an incredible day of triathlon magic.”
“Brilliant event, race pack collection very easy, racking bike very easy. There were lots of marshalls helping us where to go on the course - it was my first time so this was a worry for me. Really enjoyed it, thank you!”
“Bravo pour l'organisation, tout a était parfait vous êtes parfait. ”
“Do not have the start times of both sprint and Olympic in one huge wave as this put too many people in the water all at once. with over 500 people it should be sprint first then Olympic and in waves say 1min apart or so. This will make the swim much safer and more enjoyable and is standard practice in all other triathlons i have done and am doing. ”
“- always same place year after year - medals and prize announced prior everyone finished the distance - so low sport fairplay level to do this - this place full of jelly fish every year”
“A Very well organised event”
“Perfect. See you soon for the next one.”
“Lots of people drafting on the bike ride. People standing in front of the bike return signage. My daughter missed the turn off into T2”
“A very good race with lots of signage and active marshalls. ”
“Very well organized and great spot”
“the event was amazing and there were many water stations during the run course with some ice which really helped the athletes a lot. Kudos!”
“I feel there were too many junior super sprint kids. They do not understand the concept of riding on one side of the road and they nearly caused numerous accidents when the super sprint competitors started riding and catching up to them. They should be given a proper briefing and marshals should assist in keeping them out of harms way.”
“Plenty of water stations, plenty of water & not hot water! They even had ice, sliced orange & coke/pepsi. The best in regards to aid stations in a long time. Only downside, the mass start - Olympic & Sprint together? The bike racks were very low & everybody struggled to rack there bikes which had a knock-on effect during transition. Added to that people still not racking properly as instructed & bags still left by bikes.”
“Indicating the different car parking area on a map before the race.”
“This event is just perfect from all aspects.”
“Race well organised, except for the running part, where people got confused if they had to run on the left or the right side... this was a bit chaotic because people came from both sides.”
“So well organised, ran really smoothly and a lovely positive event from start to finish”
“Event should have been postponed as the swim was not safe for athletes with the amount of jelly fish.”
“great event and great organization ”
“Assess whether it is possible to split Olympic and sprint. Too many swimmers going together. If possible have the races start earlier - as soon as sun is up. Was very hot during the run by the time we were finishing. Other than that was very well organized! ”
“Amazing event - logistically perfect”
“The event was so much fun and well organised. But the sea was filled with Jellyfish and the cycle had one sharp turn that really slowed down pace. Other than that it was amazing. Thank you”
“Great event. But why not having Sprint and Olympic starting first?”
“Amazing event and the organisers!”
“One idea: what about encouraging post-race stretching with a 62” screen with a looped video showing a dozen of stretching exercises, that racers can do after their race at their will. I’d like that, if it’s located in a spot with a bit of space in front of it. ”
“A bit crowded, especially the swim. But this is also a good thing.”
“Amazing event, thanks to everyone involved in the logistics you guys made a remarkable job.”
“I wish this trend of cheap shirts would stop. Use better materials for the shirts please. ”
“please start Olympic and sprint separately, the swim start is too busy ”
“Well organised race , great course , volunteers. Thank you for the great throphies and prizes also”
“Exceptional support from the organizers”
“It was a great race from start to finish. Well done to the organising team. Well planned and well executed ?”
“Swimming start should be more organized. Maybe split sprint and standard and male and female”
“It was very well organised.”
“Dismount line was not clearly visible, there should have been a colored tape to make it viable to us! I crashed because I was taken by surprised when one of the staff shouted at me to stop stop! ”
“Excellent set up, fantastic event! ”
“Very well organised with plenty of hydration stations and loads of ice - well done guys ”
“As usual, an excellent event, very well organised and very enjoyable.”
“All safe and well organice in good environment”
“Amazing event always and event organising was really good. ”
“Well organized, great race village. Bike in should be marked Bike In not Check Un.”
“Well organized and nice course ample water stations thank you!”
“Really good event and well organized ”
“Would be great to have a laser engraving kiosk at finish, where participants can get their results on the medals. Also, there were TOO MANY jellyfish in the bay - was kind of uncomfortable- especially at the beginning of the swim part”
“we enjoy at race and you are the best good luck in next race ”
“Very well organized as usual. But can we at least draw a mount on and dismount line with a piece of chalk when leaving or entering transition? That’s all. Tnx”
“MAMZAR is the most exciting tri race in UAE ”
“Organised extremely well, signed up for the 2nd one already”
“The staff are amazing; helpful and cheerful; big thank you to the volunteers on the stations! Event well organized, nice atmosphere.”
“So we’ll organised- lots of water, even for slower runners- great volunteers and course never disappoints. Shame they can’t remove all the jellies in the water but hey ho. Thank you supersports. ”
“Excellent event. Plenty of water stations, easy number pick up, great atmosphere. Thanks!”
