“Needs more space for cars parking ”

“Well organized the Transition area. To better mark and sign the route for bikes in the different disciplines”

“Running area was not good and the date of competition was wrong because the weather. ”

“- First Triathlon in my life and I loved it despite a very high temp for the running part”

“Great organization, shame about the humidity but very much enjoyed the experience ”

“Brilliant event on Sunday, love the new course and location. Very good call on changing the course from 10 - 5km for the safety of all the athletes out there. I have done Mamzar Triathlon for the last 10 years and never had heat like that before in October. Global warming is real.”

“Nice event would definitely participate again. ”

“Nice event. Sponsor stalls ran out quickly. ”

“Great new venue over previous location ”

“top race, running to hot”

“The way the event was concluded tarnished what was otherwise a well-organized event. At the last moment, they cut the run short due to heat. The weather was as predicted and as it has been for all G+T Tris for many years. Nothing unusual happened to trigger the event being cut short. How it was communicated (or not) meant I only realised when I reached the finish line (with fresh legs). These decisions must be made at the start of the race and/or based on objective criteria. ”

“What a great event with a beautiful location. Congrats to Super Sports and GRIT+TONIC team for putting such a wonderful event! See you on the next one for sure!”

“As usual : very well organised & great atmosphere !! ”

“Good call on the Olympic distance. Well organized event as always Supersports team!”

“It was still to early regarding the temperatures in Dubai, something to be considered next year. The distribution of vendor tents wasn't nice. Parking was the worst. Part of the main Parking should have been made available. ”

“Weather forecast was not available to properly prepare. Confusion at the start of the race and ushers during the race.”

“Some km markers on the run Make it the first week of November when you know it’s going to be cooler. It’s one of the most popular tri events of the season and it’s at least 2 weeks too early. It was unseasonably hot which is obviously not your fault but even in normal temperatures it’s very hot around 21 October ”

“very nicely organized great team!”

“Thanks for a great event.”

“Well done for calling it on the last 5km. Right decision!”

“Great event. Very professional. Thank you.”

“Good event and location, well organized.”

“Great event for 1st timers / newbies (like me!) Will definitely be attending the next ones (signed up already)”

“Excellent work guys. Thank you”

“Thank you to the organisers. Very well run event.”

“Its a great experience to start a triathlon.”

“Great race, great venue. I just didn't give a 10 because I thought that the bike transition area could be better signed with the racer/bib numbers. For example, it was hard for me to find my bike spot during the transitions. I recommend putting more signs per section (showing range of bibs) and/or having helpers indicating or directing to the spots. Other than that the race was great! Congratulations and see you next March!”

“it was well organized but there are only few water stations and no ice or sponges for the heat.”

“Great well run event - enjoyed it. Very hot day, may be worth considering a later date next year. Question: due to the heat, would it be worth having the Olympic distance set off first as soon as it's light - approx 6:20am? ”

“Great organization , beautiful new venue”

“This was my first triathlon in the UAE. Perfect”

“Gavin Ugh Hubby Hunk Hann ”

“Great organization, a tad too warm but nothing you can do about that ?”

“greta new run course. much better than running in full sun on the previous run course. also 4 laps of bike is better than 5 laps. ”

“Great event (my first ever triathlon)...superbly organised and managed...thanks to all responsible! Wish it could have been held a couple of weeks later as I think it would have been far less humid! ”

“Well organized, great staff Lovely experience ”

“Perfect, Team on TOP and very well organized.”

“The new location is a lot better for the run course as it's shaded in the park !!! ”

“Great shout cutting the run short as it was HOT! Well done great event ”

“Good organization, everything was very straightforward. Good location, transitions were smooth and bathrooms were clean. It was a bit hot/humid and so they had to shorten the olympic race.”

“The bikr course was less than 40 and they cut the run to 5K due to weather where honestly 10k was easily doable on that weather condition ”

“it was a perfect swim leg, better than the previous editions, keep it up, only complaint was the bike was short by 2km and the run by 5km, understood it was for the safety of the runners, but i was running to beat my Pb, nevertheless was a very nice event ? def will come back”

“Not enough life Guards in every 100 meters and also need to have left ankle cover for the tracker ”

“Well organised, ample parking space, several water stations ”

“Not the organization fault, but the weather conditions were horrendous, with higher humidity in Mamzar than the rest of the city. We need to consider alternative location for future race”

“Not enough hydration on running and it was only water”

“How i can collect and where my medal for 3rd place 35-39? Velimir Vesovic”

“Do it later in the year”

“The super sprint swim was short. Was never 375m. My watch recorded 269m. Otherwise it was great fun ”

“For the part done for the children, the Organization was bad, we had to support the team which has no idea on how to guide the children for the cycling part. Signage was not clear and people part of the organizers was not aware of what to do! ”

“Swim start for kids should have been more controlled Signage for kid coming off bike and on run course could have been better…. All in all great though, loved it”

“Too many dangerous looking jellyfish in the sea where we were swimming. No water on the cycle track, apparently somebody else took it. Was luckily given a small bottle. Thanks for reducing the olympic distance lap down to 1. It was too hot and barely anyone was running.”

“great new course ! well organized ”

“It was my first triathlon and I really enjoyed the experience... the organisation was really good and we all had a very enjoyable day! Thank you.”

“Mamzar and the race organisers are experts and well trusted to put on a good show !”

“It was a Fun day ”

“Thought the race was great and personally prefer this location. Swim so much nicer than the lagoon. Transitions fine. Ride similar. Run nicer. Only small thing was bike racking seemed closer together. Quite tight.”

“Congrats, very well organized, better venue than the last one. The only complaint is about the parking slots, we’re not enough for everyone, only for the people that arrived really earlier, the others struggled to find a place to park.”

“Exit from t1 not clearly marked. Myself and other athletes went the wrong way. Starting at 6:50 is way too late to do an Olympic distance in this climate. It’s no surprise it had to be cut short ”

“Should be more strict in transition area. As some of the athletes I saw was on the bike rack area before running. All in, it was still good and I will still join in the future.”

“Great new course, really enjoyed the swim a shame about the heat ”

“Well organized, good decision to shorten the Olympic run , after the swim water could be provided”

“except the unfortunate weather condition, all the event was very much appreciated”

“Great event, thanks, and the right call to cut it short I think. Needs better organisation for the relay teams, someone explaining the rules about where to transition mainly. And race reps in transition for questions at the start.”

“Great event, well organized, awesome course. Thank you to all the organizers and people who worked keeping us safe on the day”

“Excellent organization!!!! Thanks for everything!”

“Organisation might be better. I haven’t found any water spot before race! I started felling thirsty.”

“Very well organized and professional ”

“Overall it was a great experience, however, having only water on the run was not ideal due to the conditions. Some electrolyte mixes, etc would have been good. They started letting people into the park while we were still running which meant you had to dodge people coming in. Feedback from my second was that spectators were allowed in and out of transition areas. I needed the paramedic team and they were really good. Well done with some improvements it can be even better. ”

“Great new location, way better than the previous one. More space and more organized. Weather didn't help but we all had fun. Thank you”

“Loved the new location. State of the art organization. Lots of fun. ”

“This venue was much better than before. More space to swim freely. Run course had shade. Loved it!”

“Terrible idea to hold this event on Oct 20 instead of at least 2 weeks later. The email to participants later said the heat was “unexpected” - what a joke… Cutting the Olympic run was justified but should have been done earlier, not during the run. Unclear signs initially (fixed later) after bike exit from transition led to some people taking the wrong exit from the first roundabout and losing time. Not an event to be proud of. ”

“Would be nice to transfer it to the month of November.”

“Nicely organized. Good course. Damn humid though. ”

“Well organised and knowledgable staff. The new location and the set up meant there was no atmosphere at all at the finish. There should be music and someone on a mic encouraging and congratulating finishers. As there was no atmosphere or village to enjoy and shop we left early. Thank you for allowing us to take our things from transition.”

“Great course, organisation, and support.”

“The running route surface was all brick and horrible for running. ”

“It was well organized and enjoyable.”

“Parking was extremely difficult. Weather was horrible (high temp & humid). Bike leg wasn’t organized with no clear or sufficient directions. Marshals are absolutely clueless. Water was slimy.”

“Please start earlier and on time. Other than that, thanks for the fantastic organization of the event”

“Brilliantly organised event, very enjoyable and smooth running. Made the right call to cut the olympic run short due to the heat, was very thankful of that!”
