Mashael, thank you for showing your support as always.
OFCOURSE YOU CAN DO THE 10 K , no need to run it all, walk half of it and do half of it. Sometimes it is important to just finish the distance :). i will be expecting you there at Kuwait Tower.
i am so curious about it,how can i participate.

hi yousif i have a few questions about this…
is it only jogging? like 3adi amshi mashi saree3? cuz although im an athlete and i workout everyday, but i dont think i can JOGGG 200KM .. and is the break for all of us or i pick when i stop? also is it segregated? cuz im thinking of joining with my cuzins and what day is it?
sorry adri eni s2alt wayed :$

Hello Kawthar,
It will bea mix of jogging, running, and walking.
Yes you can jog,run 200 KM if you train well for it.
Breaks will be for everyone
And no it is not segregated, it will only be ONE group, 5 runners.
I will be happy if a woman joins and finish this challenge. But you have to be selected amongst a lot of other interested runners. There is a qualification process for it as well. For example, finishing a 50 K Jog/Walk/Run, with us the team on certain dates.
Wish you all the luck guys! Great idea really and hope it becomes as famous as ‘Tour de France’ in the future :D
But how can we see you guys run? Will you be online or streaming live somewhere ?

You can’t imagine how excited I was to read about Kuwait Marathon 2012,,,, It is my dream to do that,,, and i was talking about it to all my friend and everyone thought I was crazy and un-realistic.
This dream came alive two years back when i got a severe back injury and had to go through two back surgery.. the first one put me in wheel chair… and the second one saved me…. that’s when I started telling my self I wanna jog or even walk from North to South of Kuwait as a challenge to my self that I made it and am back…
I commend you guys for your hard work and superior thinking of doing of what your doing…. God Bless you… Your are admired and have all the support.
Hi Yousef, congrats on getting this off the ground and wishing you all the best! Cannot wait to hear the post adventure reports!
