Do you want to run a marathon, but don't know how? Or get in shape for summer and help those in need at the same time? Come join us and we can help you. Learn more about this exciting opportunity at our open houses for Ekal Get Fit 2010.

The Ekal Marathon started in 2004 with just 2 runners who trained on their own to run the Silicon Valley Marathon. The couple raised over $5000 in for Ekal Vidyalaya while finishing their first ever marathon. Last year we had 20 runners completing Rock 'n' Roll Seattle and raised enough to sponsor 50 schools!!!!!!

This is the seventh year going strong and the program has now evolved into a 6 month endurance training program that is a great platform to run a marathon (or a half marathon). We have a very active, committed and motivated bunch of folks that train at different levels and our program is designed to fit all needs. The group helps motivate and keep each other on track. We also provide a 50% discount on registrations for participants as part of our commitment for this noble cause.

We have an experienced team that provides all the necessary tools and training for this event. At the end of this training, runners participate in the Seattle Rock 'n' Roll Marathon on June 26th, 2010. During the training runners raise funds for Ekal Vidyalaya, a not for profit organization that is dedicated to initiating, supporting and running schools for children who would normally never get an education. With the participation of numerous non-profit trusts and organizations, this program has now become the greatest non-governmental education movement in the country; please visit http://www.ekal.org for more details.

We invite everyone to participate and help us achieve universal primary education one school at a time...but honestly we are hoping for more like a 100 at a time.
