Countdown to Glory as University of Botswana Marathon Approaches its Final Stretch
Excitement is reaching fever pitch as the University of Botswana (UB) Marathon Finale approaches, with the penultimate activation event held on Saturday, 21st September 2024. The event brought together runners, supporters, and organisers in a vibrant celebration of sports development, health and wellness, setting the stage for the much-anticipated marathon finale slated for the 13th of October 2024.
The event, which is organised by the UB Foundation, provided a thrilling preview of the races to come. Participants not only got a taste of the competition but also had an opportunity to register on-site for the highly anticipated marathon.
A flagship initiative of the Foundation, the marathon serves a dual purpose of raising funds for postgraduate scholarships while fostering community spirit of fighting Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs). As the big day approaches, the Foundation continues to rally support for the marathon and its charitable cause, urging more participants to join this impactful initiative.
The atmosphere at Saturday’s activation was electric and charged with enthusiasm, motivation as well as a shared sense of purpose. Participants and spectators alike were energised as they geared up for the final phase of their preparations.
The event not only marked the countdown to race day but also spotlighted the stories of determination and unity that fuel each runner’s journey. More than just a race, the UB Marathon is a powerful symbol of community, with participants embracing the physical and mental challenges as they prepare for the ultimate test of endurance.
Saturday’s event set a positive tone for what promises to be an unforgettable marathon. With the excitement building, the UB Foundation is maintaining momentum, encouraging more registrations and underlining the marathon’s significance beyond the race itself which is supporting higher education through fundraising for scholarships.
As the final stretch approaches, the countdown to glory is officially on. Registration for the UB Marathon remains open and the Foundation continues to call on runners, supporters and the wider community to participate in what is set to be a memorable event. Not only will it celebrate athletic achievement but it will also make a lasting impact by supporting Botswana’s future leaders through education besides fighting NCDs.
