Ashley Cairo Marathon March 2020 Social Distancing Run

Ashley registered for Palestine Marathon.
But due to the current Corona situation, the Marathon was canceled.
So She decided to run her own marathon in Cairo.
With the support of her friends and Husband, she was able to do it on her own. Self-supported, and seld planned.
Again we don't encourage ppl to run in groups.
This race was made with the supervision of professionals like Derek Brown.

We started at6:30 from CAC in Maadi, went all the way up to Katameya tunnel and then back. we Toke a detour to reach Carrefour Maadi. Running uphill to the tunnel and Carrefour Maadi was dun as it was still early and the sun was soft.
Going Back downhill was the easiest part of the race.
Then comes the hard part. We have to figure out around 20km to run in Maadi with fewer loops.
We tried the already planned route to run in a 5km loop in Maadi but the sun was burning and the route had no shade in it.
So after 2 burning loops, we decided to Change for a route that Derek proposed that goes inside Maadi Narrow streets which are shaded with trees.
Going back and forth running the streets and dodging the cars was not easy but fun.
Finishing strong back at the CAC we were welcomed by the great support team that helped us through the whole marathon with cheering, oranges, and bananas and kept our company.

Great shout out to all the support and motivation have given by this great family.

This Markes Marathon 18 in 17 months i wish to keep this for as long as I can now.
