The departure of the 20 km women's walk, initially scheduled for Sunday at 23:30 local (22:30 French), was shifted from 29 minutes to 23:59 (22:59 French) because of weather conditions (high heat and humidity), said the organization in a communicated.
As expected, the women's 20km walk is the third consecutive nightly race on the Doha waterfront after Friday's women's marathon, marked by strong failures, and the 50km walk on Saturday.
The competition on Sunday is the first of which the start is postponed, while the announced conditions will be about 32 degrees and 73% humidity.
