RUN FOR MATH

    The Prishtina Half Marathon was held on May 9 and our "Run for Math" team took part in it.

    Our team members were:
Katie Gotaas (captain), Alban Rrustemi, Linda Pyle, Qendrim R. Gashi, Linn Slattengren, Musa Krasniqi, and Valona Duraku.

    The following team members took part in the 5km race:

Artan Alidema, Drilon Gashi, Behar Baxhaku, and Armend Shabani.

     Our team ran to support mathematics and mathematicians in Kosovo, to gather funds for the Kosovar Mathematical Olympiad (KMO), and also to have a good time, which we did.

    We thank our official sponsor eOffice Prishtina, headed by Dr. Neshad Asllani, for their generous contribution of 500 Euros to the KMO. We express to him our deepest gratitude. We are also very pleased to thank the following families and individuals for their generous donations to the KMO:
