Event details

The Spinneys Dubai 92 Cycle Challenge returns for its 16th edition across Saturday 14 and Sunday 15 February 2026 with Expo City Dubai as the official start and finish hub for the entire event weekend.

Recognised as the largest and longest-running mass participation road cycling event in the UAE and Middle East, the event welcomes thousands of amateur and elite riders annually, alongside families, spectators, and the wider cycling community.

Expo City Dubai will serve as the central community hub for the event weekend, hosting:

Start and finish operations for all race categories
The Eat Well, Live Well Village at Al Forsan Park
Family-focused activations, food & beverage outlets, wellness experiences, and entertainment
A safe, vibrant space for spectators, families, and non-riders to engage with the event

The village is designed to encourage visitors to arrive early, stay throughout the day, and enjoy Expo City as a family destination, not just a race venue.
