A middle distance triathlon covers 1.9 km of swimming, 90 km on the bike and a 21.1 km run. In the Middle East, the race calendar is shaped by climate: the bulk of events fall between October and March, when temperatures across the Gulf and Red Sea coast drop to conditions that suit racing. Cities such as Manama, Dubai, Doha, Lusail and Abu Dhabi host events during this window, alongside destinations further afield including Baku, Eilat and Salalah. This page brings together every middle distance race in the region regardless of organiser — IRONMAN 70.3, T100 and Challenge events all appear side by side. That means you can compare dates, locations and entry options at a single distance without switching between multiple sites.
