RHU participated in the 16th edition of the BLOM BANK BEIRUT MARATHON on November 11, 2018. This year, 74 participants joined the 8 km Fun Run and for the first time, 6 participants joined the 42.195 km Relay Race. They ran for Dayana, to further support and empower her in her fight against breast cancer, and for Himaya NGO in support of its cause in preventing child abuse.
With great enthusiasm, the RHU Athletics Department, faculty, staff, and students operated water and cheering stations. They were very pleased to spread positive vibes while cheering the marathon runners.
Moreover, RHU is extremely proud of the courage and determination of Mr. Yousef Al Mawla who participated in the 42 km Para- Athletes race (Male standard Wheel Chair) and won the second place.
RHU had previously presented Mr. Al Mawla an electric vehicle to be at his disposal while commuting to and from his home and hence assist him in realizing more and more successes as he challenged himself to win titles in national marathons. In return, Mr. Al Mawla pledged to dedicate all his future wins to Rafik Hariri University.
