Running for Well-Being: UNDP and The British University in Egypt organize Health Marathon

In May 2024, the British University in Egypt (BUE), in partnership with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), hosted a major marathon titled “Run for Health and Well-Being.” The event, supported by Egypt’s Minister of Youth, focused on promoting public health and community well-being aligned with SDG 3. It marked one of the largest wellness-oriented races in the region and attracted broad participation. Thousands of enthusiastic participants who ranged in age from 4 to 70 joined the event. Beyond the physical activity, the marathon aimed to raise awareness about healthy lifestyles and engage diverse groups in efforts towards achieving Egypt Vision 2030’s health and wellness goals.
