Qatar Airways Group Chief Executive and Qatar Tourism Chairman, His Excellency Mr. Akbar Al Baker, said: "Our partnership with The IRONMAN Group is a natural fit for our brand, where human endeavour proves that anything is possible. We admire the relentless effort and dedication of the athletes, attributes we strive to reflect in the way we serve our customers.”  

H.E. Mr. Akbar Al Baker added: “IRONMAN races are hosted in different cities across the world, making our global network the perfect medium through which to connect endurance sports enthusiasts, athletes, supporters, and officials.” 

“Providing our athletes with an unmatched race experience is at the core of what we do, so we’re thrilled to partner with an airline that reflects our customer centric approach and is committed to the highest standards in everything they do,” said Andrew Messick, President and Chief Executive Officer for The IRONMAN Group. “Our IRONMAN events have long brought together different communities and cultures through their love of endurance sport, so how better to continue doing this than with the world’s fastest growing airline. This is the beginning of an exciting partnership for both of us, our athletes, and future athletes and supporters who we hope to welcome at an event in the near future.” 

The partnership was marked on August 21, 2022 at the 3-2-1 Qatar Olympic and Sports Museum in Doha, Qatar. Along with leadership from both organisations, Lulwa Al Marri – the first Qatari female athlete to complete a full distance IRONMAN race, was in attendance. For several years, many Qatari athletes have participated in and completed different IRONMAN triathlons across the world.
