This year’s ‘The Color Run,’ presented by Sahtak Awalan: Your Health First, promises to be the biggest and most colourful yet with the event taking place on January 28, at the Qatar National Convention Centre (QNCC).
The Color Run is a race that celebrates health, happiness and individuality, by both encouraging and empowering participants of all ages and abilities to focus on their health and well-being in a relaxed and most importantly, fun fitness environment. The Color Run is once again supported by Weill Cornell Medicine – Qatar (WCM-Q), whose health campaign, Sahtak Awalan: Your Health First' will present the event.
Back for a third year in Doha, the event will also feature a unique theme; the Tropicolor World Tour. This year, both seasoned Color Runners and first timers can look forward to a fun-packed experience with the all new Tropicolor Zone as part of the Tropicolor World Tour, a lively island-style experience complete with more fun and colour, as participants run, walk, jog or skip through the 5km course with their family and friends. The distinct course is complete with palm trees and arches while Color Runners will be covered from head to toe in a tropical array of colours at every kilometre mark.
Nesreen Al Rifai, Chief Communications Officer for WCM-Q, said, “The Color Run in Qatar is a unique opportunity to bring together everyone in the local community as they strive to be healthy and active, yet in a relaxed manner. Thanks to The Color Run, thousands of people have been inspired to exercise, and this is directly in line with our Sahtak Awalan: Your Health First campaign, which really emphasises taking the time to focus on you and your family’s health, and we are delighted to once again be bringing this event to Doha.”
Greg Sproule, Managing Director for IMG Middle East, the organiser, said, “We have had a fantastic response from Color Runners so far, as thousands are keen to take part in the most colourful event that Qatar has ever seen."
