Sponsorship

The real inspiration is Keira D’Amato, seen here at Sunday’s World Championship Marathon in Eugene, OR.

A 37-y-o old mother of two, Keira is the fastest female American marathoner as of last January. Returning from a multi-year hiatus, she broke (and holds) the record for U.S. women at 2 hours 19 minutes 12 seconds.

I did wonder — ever appreciative of any and all support for women athletes — who or what is the event sponsor QNB?

I checked Wikipedia and learned that, ironically, QNB is Qatar National Bank, headquartered in Doha, Qatar.

The bank is global with subsidiaries and associates in 31 countries spanning three continents. I leave it to a business colleague to figure out what is going on there.
