The British University in Egypt and the United Nations Development Programme were proud to host their second annual marathon - the "Run for Health and Well-Being," at the University Campus in an event that stands as a beacon of dedication to global Sustainable Development Goals with this year focusing on SDG3, Health and Well-Being.
The marathon, organised down to the smallest detail by Cairo Runners, was attended by the Minister of Youth and Sports, H.E. Professor Ashraf Sobhi, with the race itself being under his ministry’s auspices as well as that of the Ministry of Higher Education and Scientific Research, and the British Embassy. The Minister completed the 2KM walk with Chair of the Board of Trustees, Ms. Farida Khamis, President and Vice-Chancellor Professor Mohamed Loutfi and UNDP Resident Representative, Egypt, Mr. Alessandro Fracassetti. They were joined by other distinguished guests such as Ambassador of Singapore, H.E. Ambassador Dominic Goh and Ambassador of Hungary, H.E.
