More about Promoting equality and peace through outdoor sports in Afghanistan
Afghanistan’s population is ethnically diverse and comprises a mix of those predominately following Sunni Islam and a minority following Shia Islam. This yields a rich culture, but unfortunately is also a significant source of rising tensions. Through Free to Run’s ongoing programs and events in different regions of the country, we bring together athletes from all backgrounds to come together on an equal playing field. Our activities strive to promote understanding, tolerance and friendship across geographic lines, ethnicities, genders and religions.
