For 2016, the marathon will feature a range of courses for runners at all levels of experience, including a full marathon, half-marathon, 10km, 5km and a special children’s 3km fun-run.The races are open to all, and prizes will be awarded to the best runners in a range of categories, based on age and gender. For 2016, the total prize purse is worth QR 1,000,000.
All funds raised by entry fees to the Ooredoo Marathon are donated to a range of worthy charities.
