JLL, the world’s leading real estate investment and advisory firm, announced today its continued support for the annual three-race-triathlon series, in line with the government\u2019s vision of becoming the world\u2019s most active city.<\/p>\n

Hosted on the outskirts of Dubai in the grounds of the stunning Jebel Ali Resorts and Hotels, the first race will be held on 7 December 2019, followed by 15 February 2020 and 19 March 2020. New for this season are dedicated categories for UAE Nationals being offered in conjunction with the newly formed UAE Triathlon Federation.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow in its seventh year, this event attracts participants from all ages and fitness levels, and we are thrilled by the interest and success it has managed to garner over the years,\u201d said Thierry Delvaux, CEO of JLL MEA.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe series also provides us with the perfect opportunity to encourage our employees to adopt a more active and enriched lifestyle, ensuring their overall well-being in the process.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs with each year, the 2019 \/2020 edition will help contribute to a fitter and more active Dubai,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

The triathlon series is once again being hosted in partnership with Race ME, with the support of the Dubai Sports Council. Among the popular races this year is the \u2018Super Sprint\u2019, which includes a 375m swim, 10km bike ride and a 2.5km run, which is aimed at beginners looking to start a triathlon. Also featured is the more challenging \u2018Sprint Distance\u2019, in which participants will tackle a 750m swim, 20km bike ride and a 5km run.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe JLL Series is our longest running triathlon series and one of the most popular in the region,\u201d commented Paul Venn, Managing Partner, Race ME. \u201cThe support we receive from JLL goes way beyond naming sponsorship. From the CEO down, the whole workforce participates, and this contributes to the community feel and relaxed family atmosphere that athletes enjoy.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery year we attract many first time triathletes, including a growing number of UAE Nationals, which has contributed immensely to the growth of the sport in the country,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s adventure-packed three-series-races will challenge athletes to start swimming from the beach area inside the resort, before racing through the hotel grounds to transition to the bike course, followed by a 2.5km run on a track against the breath-taking view of the Marina.<\/p>\n
