The tiny Palestinian territory is [b]only just[/b]big enough [b]to hold[/b] a marathon.[/p][p=30, 2, left]But luckily for the runners, the narrow strip of land next to the Mediterranean is almost exactly 26 miles long. The athletes [b]covered it[/b] top to bottom. Hundreds of school children ran the distance [b]in relays[/b], running a mile or so each.[/p][p=30, 2, left]The event was organised by the United Nations. Some of their international staff even ran the whole [b]distance[/b].[/p][p=30, 2, left]And some of the athletes [b]took it pretty seriously[/b]. Nader el Masri[b]has Olympic form[/b]. The Gazan athlete [b]competed in[/b] the 5000 metres in Beijing in 2008. He's hoping [b]to qualify for[/b] London 2012.[/p][p=30, 2, left]He [b]ran out[/b] a pretty easy winner, finishing in two hours 43 minutes.[/p][/font] Sports are good for one's health.But sadly, nowadays too many people just spend their spare time in front of a computer.
