The Abu Dhabi Junior Aquathlon presented by Daman Activelife is a kids only and schools focused Aquathlon catering for juniors of all ages and abilities with 5 distances to choose from.
The last race of the series is back to Saadiyat Beach Club. One of the most picturesque backdrops in the world, participants swim off the pristine sands of Saadiyat Beach renowned at this time of the year for the playful dolphins. On completing the swim, participants transition poolside before starting the run across the front of the beach club out onto Saadiyat Island. The finish line is uniquely positioned for a finish in front of the Saadiyat Beach Club with an ocean and poolside backdrop.
- Sprint 750 Swim, 5K run for the expereinced and competitive triathletes.
- Super Sprint - 375m Swim, 2.5km run - for experienced competitors comfortable in open water swimming.
- Junior Competitive - 200m Swim, 1.5km run - will see the school children go head to head for the last race of the season.
- Junior Splash and Dash - 100m Swim 750m run - ideal for children ready to take the next step up from the Tiny Tri event but not yet ready to race in our competitive division. Confidence with swimming in deeper waters is required.
- Tiny Tri and Beach Blast event - walk, paddle or swim through knee deep waters on the shore line followed by a 100m beach run to the special finish line on the beach.
Both the Tiny Tri and Splash & Dash will earn participation points for their schools. Seeding of the children into the right category for Beach Blast and Tiny Tri will be done on the beach before starting.
