The energy of the runners was unmatched and she could feel the similarities in the welcoming Mediterranean vibe. “I believe that Runners of Cyprus would very much love to run Beirut. Same goes to runners of Lebanon. Distance Running is growing and we would love to create this close connection for runners to be able to run the distance in nearby destinations where they would feel supported and well received by the organizing committee.
