Their Highnesses watched participants enjoy a range of physical activities designed to inspire healthy living and enjoyment of sport, and thereby support delivery of the Qatar National Vision 2030. They also witnessed a table tennis tournament for people with special needs, a basketball for children and adults as well as a range of traditional Qatari games such as sack races, rope pulling and Dahrouri. The highlight of this year’s activities was the walkathon through Education City. Under the theme of ‘Unlock Your Inner Athlete’, each stage of the route included educational activities to inspire people to lead healthier, more active lifestyles. The walkathon was inaugurated by the President of Qatar Foundation, Engineer Saad Al Muhannadi. Discussing the inspiration behind QF’s activities, he said: “Modern-day lifestyles and everyday pressures can have a negative impact on physical and mental health, and I believe that sport is vital to counterbalancing these effects.” “Therefore, through its various centres, programmes, and initiatives, Qatar Foundation is focusing on integrating sports and exercise into everyday lives in order to encourage the population to become more active,” he continued.

    2016 U.S. Women’s Football Leagues Addendum New Mexico Adult Football League – Women’s Division (NMAFL-W) – 2015 Season The NMAFL-W launched in 2015 with five teams in New Mexico. The Alamogordo Aztecs failed to complete the season, while the Amarillo Lady Punishers joined the league late and absorbed four forfeit losses before even getting out of the gate. But the Lady Punishers were formidable once they got started, upsetting the previously undefeated Roswell Destroyers in the playoffs to make it to the first NMAFL-W title game. That opened the door for the Santa Fe Dukes to swoop in and capture the NMAFL-W championship at the conclusion of the league’s first season.
