Color Run set for January 28

The third edition of the Color Run in Qatar will take place on January 28, at the Qatar National Convention Centre (QNCC) with the unique theme ‘The Tropicolor World Tour’.
The Color Run is supported by Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar (WCM-Q), whose health campaign, Sahtak Awalan (Your Health First) will present the event.
It 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.
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 five-kilometre 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.”
Greg Sproule, managing director for IMG Middle East, the organiser behind event, 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! It is important to also book
your tickets as soon as possible to avoid disappointment, as spaces are limited.”
Once Color Runners have completed the course, the festivities will continue at the Finish Festival, a larger-than-life celebration with a rainbow beach, an interactive island with music, photo opportunities, entertainment, sponsored activities, and signature colour throws.
