Building Community, One Run at a Time.
For five decades, Bahrain Road Runners (BRR) has been at the heart of Bahrain’s running community, fostering camaraderie, athleticism, and perseverance. Established in 1974, BRR has grown from a small group of passionate runners into a vibrant organization that brings together athletes of all ages and abilities.
BRR organizes a variety of events including the Bahrain Marathon Relay, Grand Prix, Cross Island, Half Marathon, marathons, and numerous 5K and 10K charity races, offering opportunities for runners to challenge themselves while building lifelong friendships.
Known for its inclusive environment, BRR welcomes beginners and seasoned athletes alike, creating a sense of belonging for everyone. Beyond races, BRR promotes wellness, social responsibility, and community engagement through workshops, charity events, and fitness programs.
At Bahrain Road Runners (BRR), giving back is at the heart of everything we do. For us, running is not just about crossing finish lines—it’s about creating an impact that reaches far beyond the track. Through our events and initiatives, we have raised funds and awareness for causes that matter to our community.
One of our most notable contributions came in 2016, when BRR donated BHD 21,000 to the Sickle Cell Disease Patient Care Society. This donation helped acquire a blood exchange dialysis machine, a vital resource that continues to reduce the excruciating pain endured by patients living with sickle cell disease.
