I wish to commend William Ezza and the organizers for this noble initiative. This is the 3rd edition since it started in 2022. Congratulations to Mr. Ezza and his team for keeping this going. Many times, programs start and fade away in the second year, but Mr. Ezza’s dedication to sustaining this initiative is truly appreciable. I highly appreciate his efforts.”
“As sports enthusiasts, marathon running comes with numerous benefits, especially for the young, middle-aged, and older individuals, as well as professional athletes. This provides you with the opportunity to put your training into practice. When you train without competition, you may be shocked when you reach the international level and face top athletes in the marathon world.”
“This also provides a forum for our local long distance marathon runners to showcase their skills and compete against other local runners.”
