The Sahara Marathon is an international sport event to demonstrate solidarity with the Saharawi people and this year celebrates its tenth edition.
Run by the Saharawi sport committee and organized by volunteers from all over the world, the Sahara Marathon, which along with the standard-distance marathon also includes the shorter distances of 21km, 10km, 5km and the children's race, is aimed at promoting sport activity among Saharawi young men and women and financing and developing humanitarian programs.
But also wants, through sport, raise awareness and sensitize the world about a 34-year-long conflict.
34 years of suffering for a population affected by a conflict that is burying their hopes, generation after generation, in the refugee camps of Tindouf (Algeria), far from their home.
34 years during which the international community has not been able to unlock the situation.
A race to prevent the Saharawi people from being forgotten.
...You came from a distant place for a very important reason, to promote more awareness of the health and food needs of Western Sahara children.
This event is much more than a simple race.
The route symbolically connects the three refugee camps of Smara, Auserd and ElAyoun, and leads runners through a desert which has been the home of refugees for 35 years.
Thanks to your effort and your concern for this issue, you have reawakened their hope, giving them the feeling of not being alone. But what is more important is that, as you decided to go there, they can now count on new friends all their lives. (www.saharamarathon.org)
