Dear HBKU Students,
We’re excited to announce a special opportunity for our students! Hamad Bin Khalifa University, in collaboration with Ooredoo, is offering free registration to a limited number of students, for the upcoming 15th Doha Marathon by Ooredoo on January 15, 2027.
This promises to be the biggest marathon yet, withover 25,000 participants expected, this year’s event promises a vibrant atmosphere and exciting activities for families.
Event Highlights:
Date: January 15, 2027
Start & Finish Location: Hotel Park, Doha
⚠️ Important Note:
- Training commitment: Each participant is required to attend a minimum of 4 training sessions. Participants who do not meet this requirement may have their marathon ticket transferred to another participant, as we typically have a long waiting list (All sessions will be updated through WhatsApp group)
- Cancellations: As the tickets are limited and highly requested, cancellations made at short notice may result in the participant being considered ineligible for future participation. Exceptions may be considered in cases of genuine circumstances supported by valid documentation, such as a medical certificate or injury-related documentation.
- The registration link will ask you to enter your details and select your preferred race distance (kilometers).
- Please make sure to use your HBKU email address when registering.
- Only one registration per email address is allowed. Multiple registrations using the same email will be disqualified.
- Non-HBKU email registrations will also be disqualified.
- Due to limited availability, register only if you are committed to attending — your spot may be given to someone else if you are uncertain.
- Deadline for registration link is 28/9/26.
Please make sure you are able to commit to the above requirements before completing the registration form.
