The Wellness Centre joins Muscat Marathon as fitness partner

MUSCAT: The Wellness Centre, a world-class fitness club at The Walk, Al Mouj Muscat, has been announced the official fitness partner for the 2018 Al Mouj Muscat Marathon.

As a partner in the two-day running festival taking place in January, The Wellness Centre will provide free public training sessions every weekend leading up to the event, with expert supervision supplied by its specialised coaches. These training sessions will be open to all participants of Al Mouj Muscat Marathon and take place at the Sultan Qaboos Sports Complex in Bausher.

“The Wellness Centre is a valued part of Al Mouj Muscat experience and is actively supporting our belief in the benefits of a healthy lifestyle,” said Salma al Hashmi, CMO at Oman Sail.

“It is entirely appropriate and fitting that The Wellness Centre is joining Al Mouj Muscat Marathon team as our official fitness partner. Their pre-marathon training sessions will be a real boost for the many hundreds of local runners who will be taking part next year.”

Al Mouj Muscat Marathon forms part of a two-day running festival which will be held on January 18th and 19th, 2018. As well as the full 42km marathon, the extended and fastgrowing event also features half-marathon and 10km races, a marathon relay category, kids run and a charity fun run.

“We are delighted to add our support to Al Mouj Muscat Marathon as its official fitness partner,” said Gary Hunt, Managing Director of The Wellness Centre.

“The Wellness Centre’s coaches have designed a programme that includes structured training runs, warm-up drills, cool-down and recovery activities, nutrition guidance, strength training and race-day prep. We look forward to playing a key role in keeping spirits high,” He added. The training sessions begin at the Sultan Qaboos Sports Complex on Saturday, November 18th, until the weekend before Al Mouj Muscat Marathon.
