Ooredoo Tunisia officially announces the launch of the 5th edition of the Ooredoo Night Run by Xiaomi, scheduled for March 14, 2026 on Habib Bourguiba Avenue in the heart of Tunis. Registrations are open starting today, marking the kick-off of a new edition of one of the Ramadan-themed sporting events in Tunisia.
Over the past four years, the Ooredoo Night Run by Xiaomi has established itself as a true Ramadan tradition, bringing together runners, families, and sports enthusiasts in a unique nighttime atmosphere after Iftar. What began as an original concept has become an annual fixture for the running community, where sport, festivities and conviviality come together in the spirit of the sacred month.
This fifth anniversary edition promises an even richer experience, with new animations, surprises and an enhanced event atmosphere designed to make the Night Run more dynamic and inclusive than ever. From warm-up sessions to live entertainment and on-site activations, the event continues to promote a healthy lifestyle while creating memorable moments of sharing for participants and spectators.
Accessible to all, the event offers three routes tailored to different levels:
• 2 km for children
• 5 km for families and amateur runners
• 10 km for experienced runners
As in previous editions, a category dedicated to Para-sport will also be offered, reinforcing the inclusive spirit of the Ooredoo Night Run by Xiaomi and allowing athletes with special needs to participate fully in the event.
For the second consecutive year, the winners of the 5 km and 10 km races will have the opportunity to represent Tunisia at the Doha Marathon 2027, adding an international dimension to the competition and opening new prospects for local talents.
Commenting on the launch, Eyas Naif Assaf, CEO of Ooredoo Tunisia, said: “At Ooredoo, our role goes beyond connectivity. We are committed to creating meaningful experiences that bring people closer and strengthen the social fabric of our communities. The Ooredoo Night Run by Xiaomi perfectly reflects this vision, promoting well-being, inclusion and moments of sharing during the holy month of Ramadan. Reaching the fifth edition shows how much this initiative has become a true national fixture, and we are proud to continue supporting events that combine positive energy, community spirit and engagement.”
For his part, Sylvester Huang, Commercial Director of Xiaomi Tunisia, the event’s official partner, added: “We are proud to be part of the Ooredoo Night Run by Xiaomi, an event that perfectly combines energy, innovation and community spirit. Each year we see more and more people adopting an active lifestyle, and this fifth edition promises to offer an even more dynamic and engaging experience for everyone.”
As part of the Tounes T3ich CSR program, this fifth edition carries a strong message of solidarity in collaboration with the Tunisian Ahna Maak association, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting patients with serious illnesses and accompanying them throughout their recovery journey. Through psychological support, social assistance and community mobilization, Ahna Maak works to restore hope and dignity to vulnerable individuals and their families.
In partnership with Ahna Maak, the 2026 edition of the Ooredoo Night Run by Xiaomi will dedicate 100% of registration fees to supporting Nour Soltani, an 18-year-old girl currently undergoing rehabilitation after a femoral amputation following an osteosarcoma. Nour has an urgent need for a lower limb prosthesis to regain mobility, continue her studies and rebuild her independence.
Through this initiative, every registration becomes much more than simply taking part in a race: it becomes a step toward hope. Participants will not only experience a unique athletic moment during the month of Ramadan but will also contribute to transforming the life of a young girl, fully reflecting the spirit of Tounes T3ich and Ooredoo’s commitment to supporting communities across Tunisia.

The registrations for the 2026 Ooredoo Night Run are now open at www.ooredoorun.tn. Runners and walkers are invited to participate in this anniversary edition and to experience a night where sport, entertainment and community spirit meet at the heart of Tunis.
