Since 2017
Twenty-five runners crossed the country. Then it kept happening.
Qatar Ultra Runners put on the country’s first ultramarathon with four organisers and a box of bananas. Nine editions later it is the largest running event in Qatar, and the last finisher still gets the same welcome as the first.
