Run The Wall 2024, an International event organised annually by the Amos Trust to coincide with the Palestine Marathon which takes place in Bethlehem on that weekend.
Amos Trust have supported runners to travel to run the marathon in Bethlehem in recent years, but also have encouraged hundreds of runners/cyclists/walkers to meet locally at the same time as the marathon in an act of solidarity, to call for Palestinian rights and to demand an end to the occupation and Israeli apartheid policies.
In the spirit of the Palestinian marathon, you can choose to run/cycle/walk 5k, 10k, 21k, 42k or any distance that suits you. We don’t know if the Marathon will take place in Bethlehem this year. Supporting the event locally however will be happening all over the world and is just one action we can take together for Palestine this year.
You can run/walk/ride independently or join a group.
A group in Manchester are meeting On Saturday March 2nd at 10 a.m by the cafe in Alexandra Park, Whalley Range, M16. to run and cycle and walk various distances. Some of us will be joining this. Please make your own arrangements to do this if you are interested.
Additionally, a couple of us are also planning to do a local bike ride of about 25 miles in the Saddleworth hills on Sunday March 3rd. Details to follow. If anyone would like to join us for this ride, please reply to this email and register with The AMOS Trust.
Registration is important for AMOS Trust to get a sense of numbers of people taking part.
