On 11 April 2025, Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ»ÆƬ, in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and Cairo Runners, hosted the third edition of its annual Run for Quality Education. The event is part of the university’s ongoing efforts to promote Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG 4): ensuring inclusive and equitable quality education for all.

What began as an initiative to spotlight access to education has grown into a large-scale community gathering, bringing together students, faculty, families and members of the wider public. This year’s run featured three race categories: a 10 kilometre run, a 5 kilometre jog and a 2 kilometre family walk. Participants from all age groups and walks of life took part, united by the shared belief that access to education is a right, not a privilege.

The collaboration with Cairo Runners helped deliver a professionally organised and energetic event, while the involvement of UNDP underscored the alignment with global development priorities. Together, the partners created a space that celebrated both movement and meaning.Throughout the day, our campus was alive with purpose. Runners and walkers moved side by side, families explored the grounds, and children experienced the university environment with curiosity and joy. Many of them were first-time visitors, offering a powerful visual of the future that quality education aims to shape.

Run for Quality Education has established itself as more than a race. It has become a platform for awareness, connection and action. As it continues to grow, Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ»ÆƬ remains committed to inspiring change and reinforcing the message that education is the foundation of a better, more equitable future.
