Spinneys Dubai 92 Cycle Challenge Return Dates Announced

Held in partnership with Dubai Sports Council, the Spinneys Dubai 92 Cycle Challenge will return in 2024.

Get in those cycling sessions as the main race will take place on Sunday February 25, 2024.

Prior to this, four Build-Up rides will take place on Sunday October 1 (35km), Sunday October 29 (45km), Sunday November 19 (65km) and Sunday January 28 (85km).

If you want to get involved in the Aster Pharmacy BIG 5 competition, the Build-Up rides give a roadmap to the fifth and final 92km race, giving cyclists the perfect chance to train on the cycling tracks of Al Qudra in the months leading up to the main event.

This year there will be a new Teams Category, allowing cyclists to join forces and compete as a squad of six.

The teams can be of mixed-gender and the minimum eligible age is 16. Once registered, the line-up of the team will remain fixed for the duration of the series and the winning team with the least growing time across all five events will be crowned at the awards ceremony.

Participants can now register and secure their spot for the Aster Pharmacy BIG 5 competition now for Dhs535.

Included in the entry cost are race packs, a leaderboard ranking, series leader jerseys, priority parking, and a bespoke finisher medal. 

The upcoming season will see a new look for the city-wide, 92km cycle race while continuing to serve as a qualifier for the international UCI Gran Fondo World Series Championship for the third consecutive year.

The top 20 percent of participants from each age category will qualify to compete in the finals in Aalborg, Demark in September 2024.

Junior competitions, which are untimed and just for fun, are also back with Junior Rides starting on Saturday February 24 with the final race the following day.
