Elite Race
The Elite Race is the crown jewel of the Al Salam Championship and one of the largest cycling races in the region! It brings together the passion and determination of amateurs, the strength of professional champions from the UAE and GCC, along with a select group of world-class athletes who raise the competition to the highest level.
What truly sets this race apart is that each edition begins at a unique landmark in Dubai — a cultural, historical, or economic symbol — showcasing the city’s global identity. From there, the race takes its thrilling course all the way to Al Qudra in the stunning Al Marmoom Desert Conservation Reserve, where the beauty of the desert meets the excitement of world-class cycling.
