KABUL who often face threats for participating in long-distance races, thousands of Canadians took part in so-called secret marathons on Wednesday.
Coming ahead of International Women’s Day on Friday and the release of a new documentary “The Secret Marathon,” the events were organised in 16 cities across Canada, the Canadian TV reported.
Due to be released this year, the documentary highlights the enterprising Afghan women who participated in marathons despite cultural and social barriers and security threats.
