The Doha Marathon (also known as the Ooredoo Doha Marathon for sponsorship reasons[1]) is an annual road-based marathon hosted by Doha, Qatar, since 2013.[2][3][a] The marathon is a World Athletics Elite Label Road Race.[4] During the race weekend, a half marathon, a 10K race, and a 5K race are also offered.[1]

History

[edit | edit source]

The inaugural race was held on 26 January 2013 as a half marathon event.[5][2] More than 300 runners participated in the half marathon, which started at the Museum of Islamic Art and ran along the Corniche and back.[2] The half marathon was won by Ethiopian runner Gadissa Chaniada and British runner Rebecca Botwright.[2]

The 2023 edition of the marathon is the first edition of the race listed as an Elite Label Road Race by World Athletics.[6][3]
