              Fasting 5K Events for Children Take Off in US Cities

   by Ariadne Budianto

   A group of around 30 people gathered on the National Mall, getting
   ready for a unique event which combines America's favorite form of
   exercise with the teachings of Islam. Fasting 5K is an annual event
   held simultaneously in five American cities during Islam's holy month
   of Ramadan. The event, which takes place in Washington, Boston, New
   York, Houston and Huntington Beach, California, premiered last year,
   not long after the Boston Marathon bombing. Ariadne Budianto has more
   for VOA.
