Building on the legacy of CBD WE RUN, the community run organized by AWFC and its partners since 2014 with support from the BMA, the event marks its evolution into a full marathon for the first time. Alongside the flagship 42.195-kilometer, the event will also feature half-marathon, 10-kilometer and 5-kilometer categories.
