The world’s fastest-growing triathlon series, the Dubai T100, returns in just 100 days—and UAE endurance athlete Ghani Souleymane is launching an audacious Guinness World Record campaign to celebrate: 100 consecutive 100km triathlons, culminating in his final effort on 16 November at the T100 start line.
Commencing Friday at Kite Beach, Ghani’s effort will replicate the official T100 triathlon each day—2km swim, 80km bike, 18km run—totaling an astonishing 10,000km by the end. The record bid also aims to raise funds for conflict-impacted children.
“This challenge is about more than sport,” Ghani shared. “It’s about showing what’s possible when you give everything and using that effort to help children who’ve lost so much.”
Dubai’s Ultimate Endurance Weekend
With backing from the PTO and as part of the global T100 World Tour, the Dubai T100 is evolving into one of the sport’s standout spectacles, combining elite action, mass-participation fun, and family-friendly festival vibes.
It also plays a major role in the annual Dubai Fitness Challenge, motivating thousands to commit to 30 minutes of daily movement for 30 days.

The World’s Best Head to Dubai
As the last stop before the T100 World Championship Final in Qatar, the Dubai race is expected to draw elite names once again to its iconic course around Meydan.
“Last year’s Dubai T100 was unforgettable – fast, challenging, and world-class,” said Julie Derron. “The atmosphere, the fans, and the energy in Dubai make it one of the best events of the season. I can’t wait to be back.”
