Venue Overview – Ayla, Aqaba (Jordan)

The 2025 Asia Triathlon Junior & U23 Championship will be held inside Ayla Oasis, a world-class waterfront resort in Aqaba, Jordan, on the shores of the Red Sea.

Ayla offers a unique and secure triathlon environment with a fully closed race course, combining natural beauty with high standards of safety and logistics. The swim leg takes place in a calm, man-made lagoon, ensuring excellent water quality and visibility. Lifeguards will be present throughout the swim course.

The bike course runs along smooth, fully closed private roads winding through the Ayla resort and alongside the championship-level golf course. While the road is mostly flat, athletes should expect occasional speed bumps. A wheel station will be provided for spare wheels and on-course support.

The run segment leads athletes on a scenic tarmac route along the Red Sea shoreline, culminating at the finish area near Ayla’s beach zone.

Ayla’s secure, fully-contained layout ensures seamless athlete flow and maximum safety for participants and spectators. The venue is equipped with first aid stations, lifeguards, marshals, and ambulance presence, providing top-tier conditions for a competitive and enjoyable triathlon experience.
