DOHA: Thousands gathered at the Torch Hotel on Tuesday afternoon to tackle the first ever ‘5000 Step Journey’ activity hosted by Aspire Zone. In bright and breezy weather, crowds of families turned out for the activity, which consisted of a 3.5km walk around a specially created outdoor and indoor circuit around the Aspire Zone. More than 2,500 people walked the full distance of the track, with the participants awarded an Aspire ‘goody bag’ for their efforts. The rest of AZF National Sport Day activities saw more than 30,000 members of the public head over to Aspire Zone and participate in one of Aspire’s 14 exciting events including beach volleyball, mini-football tournaments, zumba and cycling competitions
Last year, Aspire’s National Sport Day celebrations attracted more than 25,000 Qatari residents and this year, Aspire’s third annual National Sport Day spectacular dazzled the crowds even more as Aspire Zone Foundation continues to lead the way towards healthy living in the local community.
