AURA Skypool, home to the world’s first and highest 360-degree infinity pool, is set to host its third annual “Tri in the Sky” on Saturday, 15 November 2025.

The record-breaking event, organised in partnership with the Dubai Fitness Challenge (DFC), takes place 210 metres above ground on the 50th floor of Palm Tower, Palm Jumeirah.

Running from 5am to 1pm, “Tri in the Sky” invites fitness enthusiasts to take on a one-of-a-kind triathlon experience with Dubai’s skyline as a dramatic backdrop. The event combines a 3km row, 3km cycle and a 250m swim, the latter taking place as a lap around AURA’s iconic infinity pool. Across the eight-hour schedule, three sessions will run each hour, with 25 participants per session and up to 600 athletes expected to take part.

For 2025, AURA introduces the Discover & Recover Zone, a new addition designed to enhance participants’ pre- and post-race wellbeing. The dedicated area will feature wellness activations and product showcases from key partners. lululemon will present its latest activewear collection available for purchase on the day, while Dermalogica will offer complimentary skin analysis by expert therapists and exclusive discounts for participants. Bioniq will provide premium electrolyte salts to support hydration and recovery, and KCAL will fuel athletes with a choice of seven breakfast options, ranging from pancakes to granola, alongside discounts on its meal prep services.

Dean Stuart Jarvis, Director of Operations – Daylife Division at Sunset Hospitality Group, commented: “Partnering with the Dubai Fitness Challenge for the third consecutive year is something we’re incredibly proud of. ‘Tri in the Sky’ isn’t just about fitness – it’s about community, energy, and pushing boundaries. Hosting it 210 metres above the city makes it even more special, as we continue to champion AURA’s commitment to delivering unique wellness experiences that inspire people to move and connect.”
