About the Unity Run 42
Since 2023, 706 youths from 12 institutions have run and raised €21,642 to support our education projects!
For the fourth consecutive year, Unity Foundation will be at the ING Night Marathon as part of UNITY RUN 42 – a discipline specially designed for secondary schools in partnership with the organiser of the Grand Duchy’s biggest sporting event. The concept of this school relay race is simple: 42 students from each participating school will each undertake to run at least 1 km. This initiative, which is part of our mission to build the capacity of young people, offers a number of benefits: the promotion of physical exercise, the identification with the values of one’s school and the strengthening of team spirit, all combined with a commitment to solidarity for a good cause!
Once again this year, in addition to high school students, we are delighted to welcome a team from the MOTOr (MOving TOgetheR) network made up of patients from Rehazenter Luxembourg, CHL KannerKlinik, and Hôpitaux Robert Schuman!
The sponsorship donations from each runner will be directed entirely to our education programs in Malawi, as the ING Night Marathon organiser provides its services free of charge.
