Since 2008, Iqraa has trained over 150 Iqraa runners to complete their races and has raised over $230,000 to support higher education for Palestinian education project.

Iqraa’s 2017 running campaign had 14 runners completing races such as the Prince William Half-marathon, the Marine Corps Marathon and MCM 10K, and the Richmond Marathon. We raised more than $25,000 for education programs in Palestine. Our aim for 2018 is to recruit 20 Iqraa runners to wear our red and white jersey and to raise over $30,000 for education in Palestine.

Iqraa partners with United Palestinian Appeal, which implements the education programs it funds, and with Marathon Charity Cooperation, which oversees the training and race day programs for its runners. Runners and volunteers participate in both partnerships through Iqraa’s running and fundraising, by hosting and coaching many of the training runs, as well as by staffing the aid stations at several local running races during the year. As a result, joining Iqraa is a great opportunity for you to grow stronger in physical fitness, in your ties and contributions to society, and in your friendships
