This year, the event was again a great success as the total attendance was 3,027 people, duplicating the number from last year with a high number participation of Qatari women, 77%. The number of kids that came to Losail was a 30% of the attendance.
LCSC Vice President and General Manger Khalid Al Remaihi was very happy with the attendance and participation on the Qatar National Sport Day.
“We are very pleased to see that the number of female participants has increased compared to last year with a high percentage of Qatari ladies. For sure, that now more ladies will come to Losail to enjoy the ladies training day that we organise every Tuesday. I would like to extend my gratitude to the Ministry of Culture and Sport, Qatar Sports for All Federation, Qatar Cyclists, Lexus, Red Bull and Qatar Voluntary Centre for their support in this successful event. Also, many thanks to all the companies, professionals and volunteers that took part in it” Al Remaihi said
Apart from cycling, running or walking around the 5.3 km of the Losail track, ladies were able to join any of the 30 activities organized throughout the day such as yoga, basic body exercise, Bollywood dancing and Pilates. For those who seek an adrenaline-rush, karting sessions were also organised by Red Bull and supervised by the Friend of the Brand, female drifter Noor Daoud.
“I went cycling with my friends and walking around the track in the morning and later we did the Bollywood dance, which was very fun. This is my first time at Losail and I enjoyed a lot. For sure I will come back again for the Ladies Training Days,” said Dana, a participant from Qatar.
For the children too, there were also a lot of activities planned for them. There were some dedicated areas for children with bouncy castles, gymkhana, pedal cars and a nursery corner for the kids.
It was a fun day of activities for women and children, which will encourage them in future to keep practicing different kinds of sports activities for good health and fitness.
