Doha Festival City is inviting everyone to take part in the official launch of its Outdoor Leisure Trail on October 21.
The 4.5km track which surrounds the Mall, includes a running and walking path, as well as an adjacent Cycling Lane with technical trail features specifically designed for mountain bikes.
From 8am to 12noon, visitors can bike, walk and run around the track and enjoy the event village with extreme bike shows, fun family activities and festival style entertainment for free. All participants will be receiving a race pack upon registration.
Extreme sports experts, XTÔRK, will be hosting a BMX area where spectators can watch professional riders performing jaw-dropping stunts. There are three shows lined up, each 15 minutes long. The professional BMX riders will also be giving audiences a special chance to try out the BMX bike and stunts under their personal supervision.
Throughout the morning there will be sessions for all abilities, so come and compete against your friends or meander around the track at one’s own pace. There will be 4.5km and 9km running sessions, 4.5,9, 13.5km cycling sessions as well as a 4.5km walking session.
It is recommended to bringing one’s own equipment to enjoy the fun, however a limited number of bikes, helmets, elbow and knee pads are available to rent. Helmets are mandatory for all cyclists.
For the little ones who are still learning, there will be children’s area for bike tutorials from the professionals.
