Run for Sustainability by TAQA
“Bring more events in Abu Dhabi plz ”
“It's too early to join the event.”
“Delays in start was annoying. ”
“Amazing race and organized event ”
“Nice venue, however, the following reasons meant a poor review for this run. 1. Race began almost 30 minutes late, which meant young children were waiting for so long in the evening till it all ended. 2. There were no prayer facilities and none of the staff were able to help us locate a place to pray. 3. Plenty of unsupervised physically aggressive children in queues. 4. No trash cans in the post run area, resulting in litter on the pitch. 5. Uninformed staff giving us conflicting info.”
“Abudhabi sports Council always number one. Good organisation ”

“Parking: not enough Marshalls or signs for parking areas. Delayed start by 25min!!! MC tries to keep people silent as if you are at school Not enough speakers to cover the audience Delayed results, MC was reading the resukts from a paper, a lot of winners took wrong prize ”

“It was a fun experience. Would love to run there again. It was well-organised except that the runs started very late. But overall it was good. The only big issue we had was there are NO photos of us at all, even though we smiled for the cameraman. We wanted it for memories but unfortunately there's none. It was the first time we brought our 1 year old too, and she crossed the finish line by walking.”

“The race was held up due to technical problems, leaving athletes cold. As well, the award ceremony took too long, Apart from that, the organisation and track was perfect. ”

“I ran the 5km. With my times I supposed to get podium in my age category, however my name appeared under the 3km hence the reason for scoring the race down. I have all the proof of the 5km on strava and garmin connect as evidence. You are welcome to contact me ”
“it was an awesome race, but the 3'ker Runners didn't get enough time to line up”
“It will be more perfect in the weekend. Many thanks for the organizer ”
“There was a delay in the starting point There are no plates at every kilometer”
“Delay at the start was very strange, letting children wait in the cold for more than 20 minutes is not OK”
“Timing system used is not as efficient and accurate as the one used by Gulf Multi Sport where results are posted immediately. There was a missed opportunity in regards to the “concession” stand particularly given how long it all took (we arrived at the venue at 18:45 and the podium finished slightly past 22:00 (not great when there are children involved that need to be in school the next day and did not have an opportunity to have dinner). This being said, overall a great event. ”
“Thanks for the good vibes ”
“Started so late....not organized. Realtime uploaf of results also delayed”
“Excellent coordination , nicely executed , punctual and thank you for given a chance to run F1 circuit ”
“The start was too late for a week night and the prize giving was too late - we were cold as we waited. When small children are involved being on time is very important.”
“It was a fantastic experience. Expecting more of these events in future ”

“The timing system was terrible... It took a very long time before we started the run and it took a very long time for the results to be out ”

“Thanks, Abu Dhabi sports council & TAQA for giving this great opportunity. We have enjoyed it very well. Also, a simple but powerful tool to communicate the importance of Sustainability. ”
“Thanks for the opportunity TAQA. Eager to participate in the upcoming events.”
“The venue is great, timing is good, the weather was amazing. Late start :( The results website was not working. so we ended up staying there until 10 and reached home at 11 and the kids slept at 12, on a school night. if they started a bit early, and were a bit more organized, it wouldve been the perfect run. probably there are some constraints with the venue and IT technical issues etc. etc. thank you. ”
“Nicely organized and wish to participate in the future events.”
“We waited in the start line more than 20 min. to start the running. It is too much and we got cold and our muscles get cold after the warming up.”

“Events were arranged wonderfully, only the start of the race was delayed by 15 min. Otherwise no complaints ”
“Best experience,well organized and friendly supportive staff”
“Parking & late to start”
“It started late and ended late the following day we have commitments so they shouldn't do that. And during the prize giving they didnt check properly the bib number they gave who got 1st bronze and who got 3rd gold. Had bad communication there with organizer. Didnt have place to pray for female”
“Very good organisation for free. Thanks to all. But: - 25 minutes unplanned delay by waiting in the starting box without moving just before a race is really too much. - 5 minutes between each races is not enough as the first of the 3 km had to avoid all the 5km runners in the first kilometer. - for the 1km: many runners were cheating by cutting the S turns in the final part. Maybe increase the Marshalls there or put a rope on the side to forbidden the cutting - The end was late for the kids”
“A well organized sports event.”

“Fantastic experience. Thanks for your support. ”
“It was very generous from the organizers, for every thing ”
“The program started 15 mins late and more parking needs to be allocated since people have parked in front of cars making it tough for others to move”
“The delay at the start was disappointing. I had another commitment that I had to miss due to the delay ”
“All was great except the starting time. Thank you Taqa and ADSC.”
“Wander full entertainment thanks ? ”
“Unorganized, late, bad timing system, poor selection of F&B stands. ”
“Free of Charge race - its been a thought dor a long time that when there are so Many Many Happy Returns Of The Day!! Sponsors for the race why it cant be for free of xost and its been proven theough this race. Heads up to organizers A big Thank you ”
“Well organised event and a fun run”
“The event should be organized in a better manner. 1- Get better speakers, we were unable to hear anything. 2- Make sure that you stick to the times mentioned prior to the event, we had to wait for 20 mins at the starting point. 3- Make sure you assemble the stage prior to the event. 4- Giving 6 starts because it’s the first edition. 5- Well done guys and see you next year in a better edition.”
“The race should start at 7.30, and we started at 7.52. There were no live results. which cause as to wait till the end of the race to see who won, also some people left due to this, and their names called for the podium but they didn't show up. But on the other hand, the organisation from taking the bib number, t-shirt (the t-shirt was selected with good material), and the directions in the race including the water station was really good”
“Entire event was well organized. Kudos ”

“It was a nice run with the host always saying “shhhhh…shhhhh..shhhhh..” that sound so annoying.”
“Good event, had fun so much!”
“Great event, nice course. Good atmosphere and was happy with the T-shirt and medal. The volunteers were great on the water stations and loved the fruit a day water at the end. Only niggle was being held up / stood on the start line for a long time. Not good when you've warmed up before the start. However, thank you and would 100% do it again. ”
