Gulf Air is the official carrier of Bahrain Marathon Relay
Jakarta, 15 November 2006: Gulf Air joins the growing list of supporters of
Bahrain's popular annual sporting and charity event, The Bahrain Marathon
Relay. The airline is the official carrier of the event which takes place on 17
November 2006.
Organised by the Bahrain Round Table under the patronage of General
Organisation for Youth and Sports (Goys) and in association with the Bahrain
Athletics Association (BAA), the Relay will see around 125 teams running
approximately three kilometers, following a 16-leg format.
"As the flag carrier of the Kingdom of Bahrain and the Sultanate of Oman, Gulf
Air considers supporting this national event a worthwhile cause that is
dedicated to raising funds for local charities to help the needy," says Gulf
Air Vice President Marketing and Sales Lee Shave.
"Gulf Air is proud to associate with the event not only by being the official
carrier but also by sending in a team to participate in the relay."
The annual sporting and fundraising event, which helped raise more than BD22,
000 (around US$53,360) for local charities last year, will see many
international and national runners representing corporate houses, hotels,
schools and other organisations.
Every participant will receive a commemorative t-shirt and a participant's
medal and prizes will be awarded to the first, second and third placed
men's/mixed teams and the first female team.
Other competing categories include: fastest school team, fastest hotel team,
fastest airline team, fastest hash team, fastest sponsors team and the most
improved team from last year and the fastest construction company team.
Motorsports Marshals Club, in association with the Bahrain Motor Federation,
has agreed to provide all of the marshals for the relay.
The relay will start from the Bahrain International Circuit (BIC) and will take
a route along the Zallaq Highway, past the University and around the south of
Awali towards Alba. The runners will then head towards the refinery roundabout
and then head back towards the north of Awali and continue straight across back
down the Zallaq Highway and will then return to finish at the Bahrain
International Circuit (BIC).
