The Somabay Endurance Festival 2026 is scheduled to take place from Thursday, May 7th to Saturday, May 9th, 2026, at Somabay, a resort destination located roughly 20 minutes from Hurghada International Airport. Organised by The TriFactory, it is Egypt’s largest multi-sport event and features a variety of races for different age groups and skill levels.
The festival includes multiple triathlon-style "Biathle" distances (swimming followed by running to transition, then cycling and finishing with a run) and standalone running events.
General registration is currently active on The TriFactory website following the close of early-bird rates on March 1, 2026.
