Commenting on the NSD preparations, Nasser Abdullah Al Hajri (pictured) , Chairman of the NSD Organising Committee at AZF, said: 'Over the past seven years, Aspire Zone Foundation has become the top destination in Qatar for National Sport Day celebrations, thanks to its diverse range of activities, which cater for all ages and levels of fitness.Led by the pioneering vision of its leadership, AZF's mission is to nurture the physical, mental and psychological well-being of the community, particularly young people. We also support Qatar's vision of creating a culture of sports and physical activity among members of the community. As a result, we plan to put on another spectacular show.
'The quality and range of sporting activities on offer here has surged in recent years. As a result, we can proudly say that Aspire has been one of the main drivers behind enriching the sports scene in Qatar, organising world-class events and providing numerous opportunities for the local community to get active and enjoy life to the fullest, he added.
The Fun Run activity, one of the most popular events in AZF's NSD programme in previous years, is back by popular demand and will be open to all members of the community, including men, women, families, children and persons with special needs.It will include a 2.5-kilometre course around Khalifa International Stadium. Registration for the race will begin at 6:30AM and will last until 7:30AM. The race will then start at 8:00AM in between Khalifa International Stadium and the Torch Hotel.
Dodgeball joins the wide range of activities that visitors have come to expect from AZF. It's similar to a handball game in which players on two teams try to throw balls at each other while avoiding being hit themselves. The event will begin at 9:00AM and will last until 3:00PM. It takes place on Football Pitch 10.
