A suitable and enjoyable distance for all levels. It is an ideal opportunity to discover the “We Run” experience, enjoy the enthusiasm provided by the famous track, and share the moment with the rest of the participants within a lively and distinctive atmosphere.
One kilometer children’s race

Qatar National Bank will be the official naming partner of the event, which will be held under the name “Paris Saint-Germain – Qatar National Bank: We Run Doha,” while Losail International Circuit will be the official hosting partner, hosting the event in one of the most prominent sports facilities in Qatar and one of the most important hosting sites for major sporting events in the country.

A special guest from the club will also attend the event, adding more excitement to an exceptional and unforgettable experience.
The competition will be intense, as the male and female winners of the 5 km and 10 km races will be honored. Each winner will get the opportunity to travel to Paris to have a unique experience with Paris Saint-Germain, and continue the “We Run” journey in the city where the club was founded.
