The organisers say Dubai's first Police Triathlon has been added to the international World Triathlon calendar. Emirates 24/7 reported that claim, but it could not be independently confirmed in the available World Triathlon calendar results.
The event lists three race formats: Sprint, Standard and Olympic, alongside individual competition and team relay entries.
Entry routes and race formats
Participants can enter individually or as part of a team. The individual competition is divided into seven age categories, and entry fees range from AED 100 to AED 200. The organisers have not provided a registration deadline.
The stated qualification target is the 2027 World Championships in Hamburg, scheduled for 8-12 September. The available event information does not specify the qualifying places, standards or selection rules that would apply to Dubai Police Triathlon participants.
A new fixture at Al Mamzar
The organising committee outlined the event at a press conference at the Dubai Police Officers Club's Cyclists' Building in Al Jaddaf. Speakers included Major Engineer Mohammed Omar Al Muhairi and Captain Yousif Mirza Al Hammadi. First Lieutenant Abdulaziz Al Hammadi also attended, alongside Issa Mohammed Sharif Al Marzouqi, Director of Sports Events at Dubai Sports Council.
Dubai's wider event calendar includes the Al Majid Classic bodybuilding event, which offers AED 400,000 in prizes. The triathlon adds an outdoor participation event at the beach park, according to the organisers.
The committee says the event supports Dubai Police's sports initiatives and promotes "sport as a way of life." It also aims to improve quality of life. Organisers say the event will bring athletes together with families, with fitness enthusiasts also among the groups they hope to attract. These are the committee's stated aims, not an independent assessment of the event's social impact.
The qualification details remain unspecified: organisers have not named the places available or set out the standards and selection rules for Dubai Police Triathlon participants.
