MALARATHON April 2013 – the charity run against malaria

29. April 2013

Malarathon which is a charity run took place on a really shiny day on the 28th April at Tempelhofer field in Berlin. This event was the last event in the series of events organised during the Malaria Week Berlin and more than one hundred people of all ages gathered together for a wonderful purpose which was to run and fight against malaria in Cameroon. Participants ran 3, 5 or 10 kilometres, doing their best to have the best performance for a good cause.

The Hope Foundation team met at the Airport field as early as 9am where we had to prepare the venue and running track for the event. Exactly at 11am was the kick of the first set of runners as planned on our program for the day. The 10 kilometres category started the race, followed by the 5 and 3 km. After 20 minutes the first runners arrived successfully to the finish line, and then some minutes later the rest of the runners reached the finish line.

At the end of the race all the runners were rewarded with a symbolic medal and bags with fruit, water and plastic water bottles.

Finally, the director of the Hope Foundation, Gerald Bobga Fonkenmun, said a few words to the crowd and runners to thank them for their participation and involvement in the project. The event finally closed with some photo sessions, refreshments and networking.

The Hope Foundation team wish to thank everyone who made this event a success. Our special regards to all volunteers, runners, sponsors and partners. This year’s event was a great success where 120 runners were registered as compared to the 43 runners last year. We are looking forward to welcome more people next year.

Next year’s Malarathon has been planned on the 27th of April and interested persons and runners can directly registered now to secure a place under the following link: http://bit.ly/107jfV0
