Accessibility
Butheeb 2026 is open to everyone. The Village is purpose-built, the viewing areas are beside the vet gate, and the Organising Committee's guest services team is there to help. Tell us what you need and we will plan for it.
At the Village
The accessible routes from the car parks and the drop-off point to the viewing areas, the accessible viewing positions beside the vet gate and the finish, reserved parking and accessible toilets are marked on the site plan, published before championship week in English and Arabic.
Volunteers and guest services staff are on hand across the public areas, and the first-aid points and on-site medical teams are shown on the same plan.
Ride day is long and starts at 05:45; the weather page explains what the day is like and what to bring.
Tell us what you need
If you or someone in your party has an access requirement, contact the Organising Committee before championship week and the guest services team will plan for it.
