Dubai Police Set New Records at Dubai Marathon

Dubai Police added another global milestone to its collection by securing two new Guinness World Records at the 2026 Dubai Marathon, reinforcing its reputation for excellence in sports and institutional performance.

Lieutenant General Abdullah Khalifa Al Marri, Commander-in-Chief of Dubai Police, received the official Guinness World Records certificates at a ceremony held at the Dubai Police Officers’ Club and attended by senior officers, including Brigadier Dr Jassim Mohammed Hassan, Deputy Director of the General Department of Training.

The first record was achieved by coach Saeed Bilal, who completed the 10km in 48.6 minutes while wearing a taekwondo uniform – known as a ‘dobok’ – setting a new global benchmark in the category.

The second record showcased teamwork and operational readiness, with a Dubai Police team – including Second Lieutenant Hassan Bilal, First Sergeant Arif Abdul Razzaq, First Corporal Nabil Al Shami, and First Corporal Mohamed Sharif – carrying a 70kg patient on a stretcher over 10km in a time of 56.5 minutes.

The feat highlighted endurance, coordination, and field efficiency under physically demanding conditions.

Al Marri praised the participants, noting that the achievement reflects Dubai Police’s continued commitment to excellence, innovation, and active participation in international sporting events. He added that such accomplishments underline the force’s dedication to promoting fitness, teamwork, and community engagement, while aligning with global best practices in both sports and public service.
