The Pearl Qatar hosts triathlon challenge

The Pearl-Qatar Triathlon is the first of its kind triathlon event, set at the most stunning grounds in Qatar, The Pearl-Qatar island.

It will be the ultimate triathlon challenge before the final end of the winter season with sprint distance, and the more challenging Olympic distance to choose from. 

This event offers a unique triathlon experience within the breath-taking views of The Pearl-Qatar, having the best beach front swim start in the clear blue waters of the Arabian Gulf. It will be followed by a bike course in the scenic roads of The Pearl-Qatar with designated bike courses that are conducive for riders to pace up to.

The run course starts with the opportunity to sprint past the picturesque streets of the colorful Venetian-inspired precinct of Qanat Quartier. The challenging yet panoramic streets of Qanat Quartier, will certainly make this worth the effort. The course will conclude to the event ground of the enchanting Lido Venezia beach.
