Apex Endurance

A Dubai endurance team, built by a coach with twenty years behind him.

Apex Endurance is a Dubai team for age-group triathletes, cyclists, runners and swimmers, founded in 2024 by head coach João Arteche after sixteen years in the city's sports community. The idea is simple: train with structure, train with people, and race as a team.

Apex athletes line up at the local races, the Dubai Police Triathlon, the Mamzar triathlon, the T100 in Dubai, the long rides out of the city, and at the far end of the sport: an Apex athlete has qualified for the Ironman World Championship in Kona twice.
