Ooredoo Qatar celebrates double Stevie Award win for the Doha Marathon by Ooredoo

Ooredoo Qatar has achieved a remarkable double triumph with two Stevie Awards for the 14th edition of the Doha Marathon by Ooredoo. The prestigious awards, awarded at the 23rd Annual International Business Awards, acknowledge the event's exceptional growth and impact. The Gold Stevie Award in the Sporting Event category celebrates the Marathon's remarkable rise as one of Qatar's premier sporting events and a notable fixture on the global athletics calendar.

This recognition underscores the Marathon's outstanding operational excellence and its ascent to international prominence. Meanwhile, the Bronze Stevie Award in the CSR Experience category highlights the Marathon's broader contributions to inclusivity, active lifestyles, community engagement, and social impact. This accolade acknowledges Ooredoo's commitment to making the event accessible to a diverse range of participants, including those with disabilities and children with autism spectrum disorder.

The double Stevie Awards further highlight the Marathon's growing influence beyond elite athletic performance. Inclusivity has become a defining characteristic, with the 2026 edition introducing the Blue Race, tailored for children with autism spectrum disorder and their families. Additionally, complimentary race entries have been made available to support individuals with disabilities, and the Marathon has seen strong representation from para-athletes, including Paralympic gold medallist Richard Whitehead.

The Marathon also plays a vital role in supporting local charitable initiatives, a contribution recognized through Ooredoo's Rawda Award for Excellence in Social Work.
