How Impact Marathons change the world...
The Impact Marathon Series was born from a dream that we could use the simple power of running to uplift communities, and empower runners all over the world.
Over the last five years, we have created 13 entirely unique events, which have taken us deep into the culture of some incredible countries. Runners have united over a shared passion to explore new trails and a hunger to make a difference to the lives of others.
In 2015, we turned our dream into a reality, taking Impact Marathon to Nepal. Living in a Nepali village, we undertook the challenge of building a 5km water pipeline to the community, before lacing up our shoes and running our own race - it was then we realised we have the power to change people’s lives forever.
Since then, our races have raised $1.2m for grassroots organisations, tackling The Global Goals in their community.
In just five years, Impact Marathon has grown considerably, with races in five different countries (and more in the pipeline) and a community of over 400 runners, many of whom are already on their 2nd & 3rd races with us.
When a group of positive, energised people come together with a common purpose, not only do we achieve great things but we make great friends. We arrive as individuals, and we finish the week as one tight community.
It’s that combination of travelling to an extraordinary location, engaging in community projects that are led by the community and set to catalyse huge change whilst also knowing that you are going to be running a race that will challenge you to dig deeper than you have ever dug.
But the glue that brings all this together is the incredible groups of Impact Runners that we have the privilege to host. When a group of positive, energised humans come together with a common purpose, not only do we achieve great things but we make great friends. We arrive as a whole load of individuals, and we finish the week as one tight communtiy who have gone on a powerful journey together.
