Omri Almog, whose home was abducted from four members of his family from the village of Gaza, said ahead of the run: "I think about my sister Chen, who became a widow, a bereaved mother and is kidnapped with three children, inside this strip, I try to convey strength to her, but this story is beyond imagination. I don't know what she knows, I know she's a lioness."
Yarden Har-Lev, Head of Education at the Olympic Committee: "We are horrified by the magnitude of the tragedy that has befallen many families whose loved ones are held captive in Gaza. We know our strength together, that of the sports world. It is a brotherhood that pulls us forward always and in every situation. The Olympic Committee in Israel, together with the athletes and athletes, will continue to embrace, support and strengthen the families until all the abductees return home safely."
