The final leg of his feat will see him tackle his 100th triathlon at the Dubai T100 on Sunday, November 16.

Starting his attempt tomorrow at Kite Beach, Ghani's daily triathlons will follow the T100 format of a 2km swim, 80km bike ride, and 18km run—amounting to an incredible total of 10,000km over the 100 days.

His goal isn’t just athletic greatness; he’s raising funds for children impacted by conflict. “This challenge goes beyond sport,” Ghani shares.

“It’s about showing what’s possible when you give everything—and using that to make a difference for those who’ve lost so much.”

Backed by Ambition and Innovation

The T100’s growing momentum was further bolstered by the PTO’s recent Series C funding round.

The investment, led by SURJ Sports Investment and other major players, aims to expand triathlon's reach globally and innovate event formats like The Music Run and Corporate Relay.

The Middle East is set to play a key role in this growth, cementing the region’s position as a powerhouse for competitive and community sports.

“The T100 is about more than just elite racing; it’s about inspiring communities and creating purpose-driven competition,” said Sam Renouf, CEO of the PTO. “Ghani’s 100 x 100km challenge perfectly captures what we stand for.”

Pros Look Ahead to Dubai

As the penultimate stop on the T100 World Tour before the championship in Qatar, Dubai’s Meydan Racecourse will once again host the world’s best triathletes on one of the circuit’s fastest courses.

“Last year’s Dubai T100 was unforgettable,” said Julie Derron, Swiss Olympian and current women's Race to Qatar leader, who finished second in 2024.

“The atmosphere, the fans, and the energy in Dubai make it one of the best races of the season. I can’t wait to come back.”
