The November Marathon is the ultimate chance to unite the whole country for the same cause: Moving Forward. “Moving Forward” means moving towards a better Lebanon, a sustainable community, good health, a stable and good economic growth, reduced inequalities, and other equally important goals for development.
However, that requires the involvement of the whole country, especially the people who cannot afford to participate in the marathon itself.


Therefore, the “Donate Your Running Shoes” program is a step towards involving these people in national events and reducing the gap between citizens of the same country, giving them the opportunity to also discover a healthy bright side that might help them improve their lives.

"Donate Your Running Shoes" (DYRS) is a program that aims at providing running shoes to underprivileged people, mainly children. This was done by distributing donation boxes across Lebanon in schools, universities, malls, retail sports shops, gyms… where any person can donate their old pair of running shoes. These shoes were wrapped and classified according to size.

Next, our partnered NGO, Unite Lebanon Youth Project" distributed them to the underprivileged children who visit their premises.

 The last step will be to bring in the biggest possible number of children from all over Lebanon, and who received the shoes, to participate in the Beirut Marathon Fun Run in November.
