Posting here some photos of 2013 Dolphin Energy Doha Dash 5k, one of few new races here in Doha and as a part of its National Sports Day. It's nice my friend was able to get me some pics for I wasn't able to bring my camera with me.

The turnout was good for an inaugural run sponsored by some of the best companies here with more than 1000 participants running in various events such as 3k, 5k, 1k ladies walk and the 1k run for children. Part of the registration fee went as a cause to ROTA (Reach Out to Asia) as charity which is nice.
The race was held at the Losail International Circuit and it was my first time to race into a circuit track. MotoGP was held here annually by the way.

I am with my two friends and they were both first timers to experience a race. They both finished and received their first medals as runners.

Covering the 5km in 26minutes ++, I crossed the finish line happy.

March 2, 2013, I will be participating for another 10km run in Al Khor.
Keep running!
