I think in the modern era, the current era, there is so much concern, so much stress, so much uncertainty that marathons and the training that goes on for months with the run crews, the run clubs, provides a welcome.Everybody is welcome, no one is left behind and that provides a sense of belonging and a sense of caring and kindness.We encourage all members of the community to take part in the TCS Sydney Marathon, but the Saturday 5 kilometre in is specifically targeting youth and kids and young families as well.It's a, you know, bite sized running goal that people can achieve from a young age and hopefully that will be the inspiration that they need to continue on their running journey and one day maybe take part in the TCS Sydney Marathon.The biggest and most important thing is what we do in New YorkWhere is year round when you're talking about the transformative power of running, walking, movement and showing up day in and day out through all the neighborhoods that we're in because those are the same neighborhoods and same communities that we're running through as part of the TCS New City Marathon.Marathon is a citywide event, so the community has to be involved at the very beginning because it impacts every aspect of it.But the marathon also gives back by impacting the communities health and well-being.
The beauty of the Abbott World Marathon Majors and the entire series is it's not just about one race day, it's about the entire year where we are talking with our community of runners and getting them inspired and joining us on this journey from one race to all 7.
