Søren Bo Steendahl Masanga Runners In Berlin 42nd. Marathon

Masanga Runners – Berlin Marathon – You Never Run Alone

Running bridges nationalities and brings joy to training and races. I run WITH the local club NBRO (Nørrebro Running in Copenhagen) and I run FOR the charity club Masanga Runners. By running for Masanga Runners I also contribute to charity work in Sierra Leone. Masanga Runners is a fantastic program made by volunteers who wants […]
