A movement for equality

Choosing Your Location

School groups can participate on Wednesday March 3th, 2021 as a “Virtual Group” at a time of their choosing.

Participation forms

  • Please ensure each student has signed any participation forms required by your school.

Planning a route at your school

For the best experience mark a path on your school grounds or local park

  • High School Basketball Court (84x50ft or 81.6m) - 36 laps

  • Around a soccer field (75mx55m) - 11.5 laps

  • Out and back route - 1.5km

*Although it may seems like a lot of laps, it is good to remind students that many of the women in Afghanistan train for the marathon in a space even smaller than the size of the school gym since they cannot train outside. Imagine doing 504 laps! That’s the number of times it would take to do the whole marathon if you were running around a high school basketball court.
