Following its successful debut in February this year, L'Étape Dubai by Tour de France will return for its second edition on Jan. 25 2026.

The inaugural edition of L'Etape Dubai welcomed over 1,000 participants, including 243 international riders and 266 Emiratis, making it the largest first-edition amateur cycling event of its kind in the UAE. The race featured IOI km and 50 km competitive courses, a 20 km family-friendly ride and kids' races, passing key landmarks across the city.
Reinforcing its status as the premier platform for amateur cyclists to experience the spirit of the Tour de France in the Middle East, the 2026 edition of L'Étape Dubai aims to build on this momentum by increasing participation to a total 2,000 cyclists across the various categories. Preregistration opens on 27 July 2025, offering a 15% early-bird discount ahead of the official registration launch in September.
