Running Injuries: Risk Factors & Recovery among Recreational Runners in Lebanon

About us

The National Wellness Network
since 2018

The National Wellness Network (NWN) is a non-profit non-governmental organization (NGO) that is registered in Lebanon (reg. number 1503, 2018) that aims to empower and serve at-risk populations and promote the eight dimensions of wellness across Lebanon. NWN is located in Rashaya (West Beqaa area), Hasbaya (Nabatieh Governorate), Aley (Mount Lebanon), Semqanieh (Chouf area), Damour, Jal-el-Dib, and Beirut. The Network partners with local, national, and international organizations to conduct awareness campaigns, community research, implement interventions, and offer primary medical care in its specialized clinics. Since its establishment in 2018, NWN has benefited over 10,000 citizens across Lebanon, regardless of their religious, political, or geographical affiliation. The majority of our beneficiaries reside in rural areas, where access to medical services, education, and training is uncommon, and where our centers and teams of volunteers are active.

My sincere gratitude for implementing this program. I was waiting for such a program for so long. I hope we can get more programs and such great opportunity. Maybe also participants over 40 can get such opportunities because some program excludes us due to the age factor.
