The fourth edition of Bike Abu Dhabi Gran Fondo is scheduled to take place on December 21. This will be organised by the Abu Dhabi Sports Council, and the 2025th edition is expected to feature a revised edition. Yes, the route will begin in the Al Ain region and will then end up in Abu Dhabi, which will offer cyclists a great opportunity to soak in the beautiful scenic terrain that will be zooming past them as they cycle through the planned route.
In fact, there is a pool prize of AED2 million for this edition of the race. As revealed in a report by the Gulf News, 364 awards will be given to exceptionally performing people, which is 44 more than what was awarded in 2024. As it happens, this race plays an important role in making Abu Dhabi a leading destination for cycling.
The Previous Edition Welcomed 1,000 Male & Female Cyclists
With the fourth edition, there is a big shift in terms of the programme. The race has been mentioned previously, now begins in the Al Ain region and ends in Abu Dhabi, which is the opposite of what would happen in the previous additions. In fact, it also coincides with the ‘Year of Community’ initiative, which is just perfect.
At this point, it’s worth mentioning that the previous edition welcomed over 1,000 male and female cyclists. These people were from more than 70 nationalities, which perfectly showcases the core values that have been embraced by the UAE, which include tolerance and coexistence. So, if you also wish to be a part of this exciting event, make sure to sign up soon.
