Iqraa: Running for a Brighter Palestine
UPA has partnered with the Iqraa running club since 2008 in the Washington, DC area to raise money for education projects in Palestine. Iqraa, which means “read” in Arabic, has trained runners—including beginners—to successfully complete the Baltimore Half-Marathon or 5K or the Marine Corps Marathon or 10K. Since 2008, Iqraa has trained 129 runners and raised over $162,000 for Palestinian education projects.
