The Color Run 2019 in Qatar, presented by Sahtak Awalan: 'Your Health First' breaks records for the fifth year in a row as more than 10,000 Color Runners graced the humongous Qatar National Convention Center for the country's fifth edition of the biggest running event in the world.
Participants who came in green and purple superhero capes walked, ran, skipped, and, most importantly, laughed their way to the finish line on Saturday morning (January 26, 2019) for the return of the Happiest 5K on Earth in Qatar.
One of the biggest events that Doha has ever seen, this edition of the Color Run was part of The Hero Tour, featuring an all-new Super Zone and Foam Zone as part of the 5k course!
Shaun, a participant of The Color Run says: “This is my second color run and I felt this year’s event was extremely well-organized and it was great to see such a massive turnout of first-time runners. The return of the foam pit was a fantastic addition. Having medals at the end of the race made me feel happy and accomplished. It was so much fun!”
People of all fitness levels gathered for the warm up, before the first wave jetted off on the 5k course in clean white shirts, capes, tutus, socks and sunglasses before getting doused from head to toe in color!
At the finish line, runners were bursting with colors, energy, and pride as they collected their first-ever medals. Before heading to the Finish Festival to celebrate with their friends, families and colleagues, enjoying live music and games.
Since its inception in 2012, The Color Run has become a global phenomenon, continuing to innovate the 5k paint race genre each year. The event has been experienced by over 6 million people worldwide in 35+ countries and has donated a staggering $6 million to charity to date.
In Qatar, the Color Run donates a portion of every entry to Reach Out To Asia—a programme of Education Above All.
