A key highlight of the championship, the Women’s Race is a major event that promotes women's cycling in the UAE and the region.

The Supreme Organising Committee, led by Omar bin Jumaa Al-Falasi, Director-General of the Private Office of His Highness the Ruler of Dubai, said that the Women’s Race will comprise two competitions.

Both races will begin from the same location, but with a time gap between them. The first race, covering 107 km, is specifically for Emirati female cyclists, while the second race, spanning 136 km, is designed for top women cyclists residing in the UAE and other Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries.
