We recently received an invitation to participate in the upcoming “Blom Bank Beirut Marathon 2016” organized by the Beirut Marathon Association (BMA), and we are excited to have Wellspring young athletes take part of it. Our school will support and run with the Remy Rebeiz Young Heart Foundation (http://www.rryhf.org/). As per BMA’s “Run for a Cause” project, part of the registration fees will go to the foundation to keep young hearts beating. Kindly find below the races’ information and registration process.
