The Oceanic Triathlon Series 2016/17 will be offering two race distances: The Short Course (800m swim, 30 km bike and 7 km run) as well as a Super Sprint Course (375 m swim, 12 km bike and 2.5 km run). Triathletes, competing in both routes, will swim in the Oceanic Hotel’s natural bay; embark on a cycle through the rolling hills of Khorfakkan before coming to transition in the Oceanic Hotel grounds ahead of the final part of the triathlon. Athletes will then run through the stunning Khorfakkan Corniche back to the Oceanic Hotel before crossing the finish line.
