(MENAFN- The Peninsula) Aspire Zone Foundation (AZF) is gearing up to receive thousands of enthusiasts of sports and physical activities from across Qatar for events throughout its venues on National Sport Day on February 10.
Following last years' successful celebrations, Aspire plans to celebrate the day with events for people of all ages to promote a healthy lifestyle.
Events have started with the announcement of registration for 3km Fun Run around Aspire.
Last year, Fun Run attracted over 2,000 participants. Designed for all age groups and categories, including people with special needs, the race gives all family members an opportunity to enjoy physical activity.
Nasser Al Hajri, Member, Organising Committee, said, "National Sport Day is an important festivity and Aspire Zone and its member organisations will exert all possible efforts to ensure an exceptional celebration that leaves every one with incredible experience.
"Preparations are part of AZF's mission to promote healthy living and our role in achieving Qatar National Vision 2030 which focuses on human and social development as essential factors that drive progress and development we seek," he added.
Abdullah Aman Al Khater, also member of the committee, said, "This year's celebration will feature events, including open activities for all community members like Family Cycling, Fun Run and 5,000 Step Journey and women-specific activities to be held by Aspire Active.
"Girls will have an opportunity to take part in synchronised swimming to be held for the first time in Doha.
"There are also mother-daughter and father-son activities, football tournaments and motor skills competitions."
Twenty-four organisations and companies will mark the day at Aspire facilities with public and private events to encourage their employees and their families to engage in sport activities.
