Run Tour - Doha, Qatar - Corniche on 2 Day stopover - So much to see

[@InspectAzmi]

welcome to Doha mate, With Love from Qatar

[@FullTiltWard]

Love that, my friend.

[@Ultrarunningamber]

So so cool to see this. I went to Doha in 2007 when I was stationed in Iraq. They gave us a four day pass to see the city and it was amazing.

[@FullTiltWard]

Fantastic that you got 4 days there. That was longer than I had, so you must have seen a good bit of stuff.

Really good vlog kerry it's nice to see different cites and cultures. The malls looked amazing so do the building at night . I've been to Dubai numerous times I love the place .

[@FullTiltWard]

I love it, too. Dubai is pretty cool as well - takes it to another level with size and scope.

[@maurizioando]

man this is amazing! beautiful city must have been an awesome experience! awesome content

[@FullTiltWard]

Thanks Maurizio, it was an awesome experience, for sure.

[@barriehobbs4533]

Great idea. Really interesting to see different cities but I've got to say it looked pretty horrible. Each to their own I suppose. For me the best thing as a runner is that wherever you visit you have the advantage of being able to get out there and in no time see so much beyond the normal tourist traps.

[@FullTiltWard]

I love seeing different places and how they work. Felt safe there and was able to cover a lot of ground in short order. Definitely would consider another trip in the future.

[@SeeChadRun]

Very cool area!

[@FullTiltWard]

It really is!

[@skeptikz009]

different content thanks kerry!

[@FullTiltWard]

My pleasure!

[@deusirae7867]

wow, the amount of times I've stopped off here and never thought to go outside of the airport. I thought it would be waaaay more money than that for a hotel.. Next time I'll know better. Thanks for the heads up!

[@FullTiltWard]

Hope you get to go out and see some things next time.

[@mwpreena]

You would have really enjoyed a run in the sand dunes south of Qatar - Sealine towards the place called Inland Sea. Also Zekreet which is a desert of a different kind (Not dunes) is also nice (West of Qatar) for a 30+ KM run....

[@FullTiltWard]

That sounds like it would have been a fantastic time, Wazir. Perhaps if I come to Qatar again....

[@davidodoherty349]

It's Barkley Marathons weekend. What are your thoughts on that? Would it interest you?

[@FullTiltWard]

It is such an iconic event, David. I don't think it would be appealing because of the terrain or loop course. But the legend, history and eccentric nature of it is undeniable. I would go and compete given the chance for sure. However, knowing the caliber of runner that the course spits out and grinds up with ease, I would not presume to think I have the ability to finish it. With a good day, I might be able to get a second loop done - with a couple more experienced people to hand-hold and show me the ropes. With a phenomenal day and favorable conditions, I could perhaps sketch out a Fun Run. I've been following it closely, too. Looks like the course will win again - questionable if there will be anyone finishing the 3rd loop under cutoff time.

[@davidodoherty349]

@@FullTiltWard I think it would be very difficult on the first go-round but could certainly see you getting the Fun Run in. Courtney timed out after two loops.. but I think she'd get the Fun Run next time with the benefit of this experience. Would love to see a lady finisher! Keep up the great work, Kerry!

[@salsaajatar]

Did you see any female runners? And what type of clothing can they wear during a run?

[@FullTiltWard]

I don't recall specifically. Not too many people running really. Could have been females out there - I would imagine modest athletic gear would be fine, though.
