2015 Sharm El Sheikh ATU Triathlon/ Duathlon African Championships and Pan Arab Championships
The triathlon Arab and African Championships will be held in Sharm from 8th till 10th May.
It’s a chance to watch and support some great International sportsmanship and show that Sharm el Sheikh has what it takes to be an international venue for sporting events. The event venue will be in Naama Bay, at the Marina Sharm parking area. Triathlon has three disciplines in one race; swimming, cycling and running. The swim leg will be in Naama Bay, the bike ride will be in 6km laps out to the main road and back again, and the run will be on the promenade. Races will start very early in the morning (6am on the 8th and 9th and 5am on the 10th) for the road closure.
Only one side of the main road will be closed during the race. Also, for the first time, there will be a “para triathlon”, which is the category for disabled athletes. Hassan Afifi a long term Sharm resident who featured in a previous issue of Mix Mag will be competing in the event. He also kindly sponsored the events with much needed funds to double the prize money as well as providing a few important extras for the race, such as a medical tent, doctors, paramedics and an ambulance, as well as emergency mechanical assistance for the athletes who have last-minute bike issues.
So let’s give Hassan our Sharm support and be ready at the race start to cheer him on. card as you could be the winner of their April Business Card drop.
