THE third edition of Run The World Festival which ended over the weekend attracted over 120,000 visitors.
It was organised by Qatar-based social enterprise, The Youth Company, in partnership with Qatar Olympic & Sports Museum, under Qatar Museums Authority.
The count for the three-day event, which took place at Katara Beach from December 19 to 21, was more than three times the predicted footfall. It engaged over 800 volunteers, 70 organisers, and collaborated with over 50 partners, sponsors, exhibitors and associations.
The regional youth sports festival, which was initiated in 2011, was by far the most entertaining, engaging, and enriching edition and an unforgettable experience for youth in the MENA region, as well as internationally, featuring a myriad of exciting programmes and activities in a vast open space open to all to explore.
The event welcomed special musical guests, athletes, and was sponsored by a number of corporate bodies, including Sports Corner, Doha Insurance, Queen Medical, and Nasser Bin Khaled. Other supporting companies and organisations included Qatar Charity, Al Anis Trading, Qatar Airways, Williams F1, Virgin Megastore, Qatar Sports League, Fitness First, Al Isteklal, Oryx Advertising Co, I Love Qatar, Qatar International Tours, Sound on Wheels, and Coca-Cola.
The festival was also associated with Youth Hub Qatar, a soon to be launched joint-initiative by TYC and Youth Enterprises.
