The sixth Sharjah Hamriyah Aquathlon is set for 13 September, with organisers hoping to draw 350 athletes and enthusiasts for a morning of swimming and running across several age and distance categories in Hamriyah.

At sunrise on 13 September, Hamriyah will host the sixth Sharjah Hamriyah Aquathlon, with organisers hoping to see 350 participants-from experienced athletes to first-timers. The event builds on previous years, where strong turnout and positive feedback have made it a fixture on the UAE sports calendar.

This aquathlon is designed for both serious competition and community involvement. There are three race categories: Sprint (750m swim, 5km run), Super Sprint (350m swim, 2.5km run), and Junior (150m swim, 1.5km run). The Junior race starts at 6:00am, giving younger athletes their own spotlight before the main events begin.

All finishers will receive a medal, but only the fastest in each category will be recognised at the 8:00am awards ceremony. The Sharjah Sports Council leads the organisation, working with local sponsors and support agencies to run the event and encourage wider participation in multi-sport competitions in Hamriyah.

For athletes and families, the event offers a chance to compete in a professionally managed aquathlon without leaving Sharjah. The early start and tight schedule are meant to keep things safe and comfortable, especially with the September heat. Clear race distances and a set timetable help participants prepare and know what to expect.

Sharjah's decision to keep the Aquathlon in Hamriyah is part of a broader effort to make the emirate a centre for accessible, well-run sporting events for both elite athletes and the wider community. Whether the organisers reach their target of 350 participants and meet the standards of previous years remains to be seen. If they do, Hamriyah's reputation as a sports venue will grow, and the standard for community competitions in the UAE will rise further.

По данным Sharjah24 и SceneNowSports, Hamriyah и Шарджа действительно активно фигурируют в спортивной повестке начала сентября 2026 года, однако в открытых источниках отсутствует официальное подтверждение проведения именно этого акватлона, а также нет опубликованных дистанций, расписания или списка категорий на официальных ресурсах Sharjah Sports Council.
