I would like to organize a running event in Doha. However, I was thinking of starting small scale and going for a 10km ace instead first to guage interest and then step up to a half marathon the following year if there is a good turn-out. I was thinking a good plac to run the evnt would b from the Hyatt hotel - the race could be around the Pearl and back. The problem with the Marathon is that you will not get as many people entering. The Dubai Creek Striders Half Marathon is a local event with no money and attracted 1000 entrants this year the Dubai Marathon with all of its money, advertising and status only attractd 1500 last year.
When would you like to organize the event? The arliest would be mid November through early March. It would b better if we could find a Friday that did not clash with any other major running event in the region.
