RunBlogRun opines: The 14 single day formats (now several have two day formats, or events on the road) bring many of our finest athletes in the world into big city events for global fans to enjoy. Doha is a fantastic event. A fun place to see the top athletes in the world come out of their hibernation to compete for the summer season.
