Doha Bank was once again the top participating institution in the annual 3km run hosted by Qatar Central Bank (QCB) to commemorate National Sport Day, it said in a statement yesterday.
As many as 168 Doha Bank staff from various levels of the organisation, including members of its senior management team, participated in this year’s event.
The QCB 3km run has, over the last few years, established itself as one of the highlights of the National Sport Day calendar of events. The popularity of the annual run was once again evident as thousands of men and women took to the streets of Doha yesterday morning to participate in the event, which started from Al Bidaa and made its way around the city before concluding at the QCB headquarters.
Doha Bank was presented with the Crystal Trophy for the outstanding results posted by 10 of its employees, who secured top-place finishes in this year’s race across various categories. This is the fourth successive year that the bank has been recognised for its efforts and contribution to the success of the event and was presented with a trophy for the most number of participants at this year’s
QCB 3km run.
“Doha Bank has a rich history of organising and supporting sporting events that spread the message of healthy living, most notably through hosting our hugely popular Al Dana Green Run, and our strong participation in the QCB 3km run is part of our broader community engagement programme aimed at encouraging people to adopt a more healthy and active lifestyle,” said Dr R Seetharaman, Group CEO of Doha Bank.
“Doha Bank is a strong believer in the importance of sport and physical activity in ensuring the physical and emotional well-being of employees, and we continually invest in workplace wellness programmes and host staff tournaments in various sporting disciplines to develop a healthy and motivated workforce. I take this opportunity to congratulate all Doha Bank employees who have contributed to the success of this year’s QCB 3km run through their participation,” he added.
