Yas Marina Circuit adds two sports to 12th edition of Adnoc TriYas
Yas Marina Circuit and this year’s competitors are making their final preparations ahead of TriYas this weekend, the region’s only day-to-night triathlon.
Two new sports will feature in the 12th edition, with multiple distances of stand-up paddling and a roller-skating half-marathon added to the schedule.
The paddlers will compete across four distances: a 750m kids race, 1.5km beginners’ race, and 3km and 6km recreational races. Skaters will complete the half-marathon distance.
Hundreds of triathletes and duathletes will compete across 12 separate categories around the Formula 1 circuit on Saturday. This year the categories include a super-sprint, sprint, and Olympic distances alongside several relay formats for individuals to work together. New for 2022 is a mixed relay format with two males and two females competing together, each athlete will complete a 200m swim, 5km bike, and a 1,250m run. A team member must complete all three disciplines before the next member starts.
Competitors wishing to take part in TriYas have until March 11 to register and be a part of Abu Dhabi’s community sporting event. All participants and spectators must present a green Al Hosn pass and a negative PCR test result within 96 hours of entering the venue.
