The Abu Dhabi Triathlon this year was completed on Saturday 15th March and was another great success. Communication Specialists are proud to be the communication suppliers for this prestigious event.
The race was a sea swim from the beach, the bike course will weave through the unmistakable scenery of the city of Abu Dhabi, featuring tree-lined roads, landscaped parks and gardens and the sparkling waters of the Arabian Gulf, which surround the city, all under the safety of completely closed roads.
To the east of the city the bike route passed over Saadiyat Island and on to another attraction sure to whet the appetite of the cyclist; Yas Island, the home of iconic attractions including Ferrari World and Yas Waterworld. Here athletes in the short and long course cycled round the Yas Marina Circuit which hosts the penultimate race of the F1 season.
