About Batelco Fitness on Track
Batelco Fitness on Track opens Bahrain International Circuit to runners, walkers and cyclists of all ages for safe, traffic-free exercise on a world-famous track. Sessions alternate between Tuesday evenings from 6pm to 10pm under floodlights and Friday mornings from 6am to 10am.
Runners and walkers use the 2.55 km inner circuit, while cyclists ride the 3.543 km outer circuit, the layout used for the 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix. The track runs clockwise, cyclists keep right and overtake on the left, and helmets must be worn. A separate area is set aside for children's cycling, and an ambulance is on site at every session.
The 2026 to 2027 season has 20 sessions, starting on 20 October 2026 and ending on 13 April 2027. There are no sessions in late February and early March, around Formula 1 testing and the grand prix. Parking is in the signposted Oasis North car park, with food trucks and seating in the Paddock North car park.
The programme suits runners training for races, cycling clubs, families and anyone who wants to say they have lapped an F1 circuit. A season pass for regular participants is sold through BIC, and you can also register on the day. Bring a water bottle for longer sessions.
