Doha Bank leads the way at ‘QCB 3-km Run’ with record number of participants

Doha Bank was once again the top participating institution in the annual 3-km run hosted by Qatar Central Bank (QCB) to commemorate National Sports Day, with 168 Doha Bank staff from various levels of the organization, including members of its senior management team, participating in this year’s event.

The QCB 3-km run has, over the last few years, established itself as one of the highlights of the National Sports Day calendar of events, and the popularity of the annual run was once again evident as thousands of enthusiastic men and women poured into the streets of Doha this morning to participate in the event, which started from Al Bidaa and made its way around the city before concluding at the QCB headquarters.

Doha Bank was presented with the Crystal Trophy for the outstanding results posted by 10 of its employees who secured top-place finishes in this year’s race across various categories. This is the fourth successive year that the Bank has been recognized for its efforts and contribution to the success of the event and was presented with a trophy for the most number of participants at this year’s QCB 3-km run.

“Doha Bank has a rich history of organizing and supporting sporting events that spread the message of healthy living, most notably through hosting our hugely popular Al Dana Green Run, and our strong participation in the QCB 3-km run is part of our broader community engagement program aimed at encouraging people to adopt a more healthy and active lifestyle,” said Dr. R. Seetharaman, Group CEO of Doha Bank.

He added, “Doha Bank is a strong believer in the importance of sport and physical activity in ensuring the physical and emotional wellbeing of employees, and we continually invest in workplace wellness programs and host staff tournaments in various sporting disciplines to develop a healthy and motivated workforce. I take this opportunity to congratulate all Doha Bank employees who contributed to the success of this year’s QCB 3-km run through their participation.”

The 3-km run is an annual event organized by Qatar Central Bank on the National Sports Day for financial organizations in the country.
