BEING A MAN –
ANNUAL
MARATHON
RELAY
The purpose of the BEING A MAN -ANNUAL MARATHON RELAY is to create a meaningful, supportive environment where men and boys can explore and celebrate the rituals of passage from boyhood to manhood. We use the Marathon Relay Race as both a literal and metaphorical journey, emphasizing endurance, teamwork, and the spirit of community.
Challenge
This event aims to raise awareness about Rite of passage: To provide a meaningful experience signifying the transition into manhood. Community Engagement: To build a sense of camaraderie and teamwork among male participants. Promoting Health and Fitness: To encourage physical activity and fitness. Mentorship and Role Modeling: To facilitate bonding and mentorship between men and boys.
Solution
We anticipate hosting over 1,000 participants, supported by 200 volunteers and a cheering crowd of over 1,000 community members. This Annual Marathon Relay will feature keynote speeches from prominent figures in the community, empowerment workshops for participants, and a ‘Legacy Circle’ where older men can share their experiences and wisdom with the younger participants.
Long-Term Impact
However, we cannot achieve our goals without the generous support of individuals like you. Your generous contributions played an integral role in the successes of this event and your continued support will be crucial in making the annual event a landmark occasion that fosters personal growth, strengthens community bonds, and ultimately empowers boys and men to embark on their journey of self-discovery and fulfillment.
