Spinneys Dubai 92 Cycle Challenge
The main event of the Spinneys Dubai 92 Cycle Challenge is a 92 km ride, starting and finishing at Expo City Dubai. It’s one of the biggest cycling races in the region and even serves as a qualifier for the 2025 UCI Gran Fondo World Championships. So, if you’re serious about cycling, this is a big one to tick off your list. But don’t stress—this isn’t just for pros. Whether you’re aiming for a personal best or just want to enjoy the ride with hundreds of other cyclists, you’re welcome to join.
The route takes you through Dubai’s wide-open, traffic-free streets, and if that’s not exciting enough there’s even an elevated post-ride village to experience with some great activities planned.
Range of Races
The main event is the 92K race, but there are also some shorter rides happening the day before, on the 22nd February.
The Outride event also takes place on closed roads and lets you choose from either completing the traditional 35K ride or taking the sneaky shortcut that cuts the route down to just 12K. Both routes are open to anyone over the age of 13 and are deliberately designed to be really chilled and fun.
And if you’ve got little ones who love to ride, the InstaShop Junior Rides are a great way to get them involved! With distances starting from just 1 km, it’s all about fun and confidence-building.

Spinneys Dubai 92 Cycle Challenge isn’t just any cycle race—it’s an experience. Expect fully closed roads, meaning you can enjoy the ride without worrying about traffic. There’ll be hydration stations along the way to keep you going, and medical teams on hand just in case.
After the ride, you’ll want to check out the Eat Well Live Well Village at Expo City Dubai, where you can grab some free food and drinks, chill out, and soak up the post-race atmosphere. It’s the perfect place to refuel and celebrate with fellow cyclists.
