The Corniche is the go-to running route in Doha, hugging the coast of the Persian Gulf for 6.5 km. It’s conveniently located close to almost anywhere in town, and the views looking out on the water on one side and the Doha skyline are nothing short of spectacular. The Doha Athletics Club recommends starting out near the Sheraton Hotel Park (convenient if you’re staying on that side of town), and following the Corniche path out to the Museum of Islamic Art on Doha Port, just past the Pearl Monument. It’s 5.1 km (3.2 miles) to the Pearl Monument. From there, you can run out to the port for another 1 km, with great views of the Museum of Islamic Art, or continue along the promenade for another 1.5 km to the Qatar National Museum.

Other Routes in Doha, Qatar
Aspire Park is your best option for a park run in Doha, with its own set of designated running trails (the longest loop about 5 km) around Aspire Lake.
The looping 1 km running track in Oxygen Park may be short, but as it dips through tunnels, up hills, and under the glowing balloon lights, it adds an element of surprise and excitement to your run.
An artificial island, built as a rounded neck jutting out into the waters just north of Doha. Good running out to Bahriya Beach, along sidewalk following Pearl Blvd. and Porto Arabia Drive. Can also run along narrow path to Isola Dana.
For a truly one of a kind running experience, you may want to consider heading out to the red sands of the desert, about an hour outside the city.
