Both at C-Ring & City Centre...Your pick of location..

Check up starts from 7pm to 9pm..If you are going to CC you'd rather get there at around 7.30pm cause the doc finds it hard to find a parking.. :)

@noora

Yea..Gurls & guys can join.. further categories are divided into above 18 & below 18...

Registration & Medical Check up is happening at C-Ring road & City Centre branches. I got my free medical check & the doc was like..make sure I see you first @ the finish line!

The run is gonna be beside the Intercontinental...confirmed!

:D

@Eco-savvy

Chill gurl! All organizations in this region are far away from understanding things like environmental protection. At least someones' trying. Lets contribute.

Even if the place gets polluted for one day...its for a greater cause, the awareness of that many people & the ppl who'd read about it.

like McGEE said, we hope its a learning curve & the bank does something about cleanup afterwards.

Peace! :)

hello, Noora Muhammad! I believe apart from raising awareness, this fun run also aims to foster camaraderie among participants regardless of age, gender or color...it's also my first time to join the run. I hope my friends would tag along...

hi, Eco-savvy! I don't wanna be too critical of Doha Bank's previous green run because I wasn't there...each event is a learning experience for everyone... I hope this time they would form an ad hoc committee to tidy up the venue... let's see... :)

That green run was shocking event for Eco warriors , with that run they polluted entire area near Intercon

None of their staff knew anything about environment, and CEO was busy dancing

It's a good thing Doha Bank initiated this Fun Run. I hope this activity would instill environmental awareness in locals as well as expats because in my opinion, the word "recycling" is not in everybody's vocabulary yet in this part of the world....

Doha Bank is one of them, Commercial Bank still sends

mail to those customers who have left Qatar for good

even for those ppl who are black listed by Qatar Govt. they still recieve bank account statements

it's really a worth cause. Paper consumption is very high, I see this every where, here and there. paper means trees,..

I could join if it's Friday.
