- Join Rexona Run to Win a Great Wall of China Adventure
Way back in July 2007, I wrote about my desire to visit The Great Wall of China if only to run in The Great Wall of China Marathon, one of the top 10 must run races according to Runners World (Jan 2007). Who would’ve thought I would get the chance to win an all expense paid [...]
