The Gaza 5K was a huge success, which came as a pleasant surprise for our team as there has been a five-year hiatus since the last San Francisco event. The California wildfires coupled with the pandemic have kept UNRWA USA’s Gaza 5Ks within the virtual space, but we are ecstatic to finally be back with our supporters on the West Coast.
