Doha Marathon by Ooredoo, 15th edition
Ooredoo's own mass-participation event, now fifteen years old, opened registration for a January 2027 race on the Corniche expecting 25,000 runners. The edition added a Family Run for children aged four to ten, a 42km relay and an Arab Category for elite runners holding an Arab passport, plus a new route past Souq Waqif and the Amiri Diwan.
- The brief
- Runners and families in Qatar, for Ooredoo's own marathon in its 15th year.
- The idea
- New for 2027: a route taking in Souq Waqif, the Amiri Diwan and Doha Port, a Family Run for children 4 to 10, a 42 km team relay and an Arab Category.
- What to borrow
- Adding entry points for children, teams and regional elites lets one owned event serve several audiences at once.
