The concept of UAQ Run is to celebrate the emirate and the runners of UAQ.
By celebrating the city, we mean highlighting all the beautiful running routes of the city and inviting the runners to go and discover them.
By celebrating the runners, we mean featuring all the runners group of city, the runners or active players in the running community allowing people to reach out to them directly.
Our objective is to invite runners / walkers and fitness enthusiasts from all over the country to come discover the beauty of UAQ, connect with the runners of the emirate and have everyone running in different running routes of the city over a weekend.
They will join the runners’ groups who will be running specific distances in different places, run alone or with a small group of friends. We will be announcing where the groups will run on our social media.
