Ooredoo Qatar has officially confirmed that the 14th edition of the Ooredoo Doha Marathon will be held in January 2025.

Registration for the annual Doha Marathon is now open, as confirmed by Ooredoo.

This year’s marathon promises an energetic and engaging experience, boasting a lively atmosphere and a range of family-friendly activities.

The 14th edition of the Doha Marathon is set to be the largest ever with over 15,000 runners.

CEO of Ooredoo Qatar, Sheikh Ali bin Jabor Al-Thani, speaking about the 13th edition, said: “The Doha Marathon by Ooredoo has once again surpassed expectations, uniting athletes and supporters in a celebration of health, endurance, and community.”

Runners can pick up their timing chips, t-shirts, and race numbers from January 14 to 16 at designated locations.

Special prizes will be awarded to ensure a welcoming and inclusive experience for all participants. Special prizes will be given to Qatari participants in each category.

A portion of the event’s proceeds will go to local charities, highlighting Ooredoo’s commitment to community support and development.
