Hi Jen,

I too am an avid distance runner and am thinking of moving Qatar as a single female. I don't much like running indoors (as per the list provided) and was wondering if you've ascertained any information about being able to run outside once the heat subsides. I guess wearing a t-shirt and shorts (my usual garb in the West) would be out of the question. Any further information about the logistics

Forget the womens clubs, come on please! Qatar has the most perfect setting for running, that is the Doha Corniche. This is a beautiful horseshoe shaped brick paved park which stretches 7 kilometers in parallel with the Corniche road - this can be extended passed the Doha Sheraton and beyond through the Diplomatic area - all quiet no traffic.  Many people, men and women run there without any issue, however I would advise that you gals be more conservatively dressed than in Europe etc. Many interesting things to see along the route - Islamic Museum, fish market on Fridays, the Emiri Diwan (parliament) building and other things too. Weather is perfect from Nov to April - hell in Jun to Sept. email me on paulbeedle@hotmail.com Happy running!!
