Benghazi, 8 July 2013:

One hundred people, young and old, some with special needs, braved the heat of a Benghazi evening this weekend to run a two-hour race for charity.

The event, which was notable for its friendliness, began and ended in the 23 July Garden opposite the Tibesti Hotel.  Besides individuals, a number of organisations including the charity Ihsan, entered teams for the race.
