Running a Marathon, 42.195 km in length, takes much stamina. Sowers Action’s 10 Marathons is even more demanding given the mountainous terrain and other challenges that come non-stop after one reaches the peak. In addition, one has to complete 10 such marathons in a set time-frame.
Many run marathons not for the final results, but rather as an act of self-challenge, pushing one’s limit to achieve what was once thought impossible. Every race has its champion and runner-ups, some may come in last or may not be able to complete. Often those who persevere to the end can write and tell their own stories.
Do you have the courage to rise up to our 10 Marathons challenge? If so, other warriors await you, to cross the finish line together.
Volunteers of Sower Action see that more and more of their friends are participating in marathons, using long distance running to build positive energy, inspiring others to catch the running spirit. In 2020, a handful of runners started the 10 Marathons, and with limited word-of-mouth publicity, 217 runners participated, raising over HK$52,000 in the end.
