GLOBAL CONNECTIONS
Calling All Runners! – As many of our runner friends in Israel are starting to train for the third annual Race to the Sunrise, a nighttime run from Arad to Masada, we thought it would be fun to organize a group of GMW runners to train together, race together, and possibly travel to Israel together to participate in the Race to Sunrise. If interested in getting involved contact Randi Brokman at rbrokman@jfedgmw.org.
