Project scope
What is the main goal for this project?

Aloi Marathon is planned as an Annual Event offering opportunities for exercise for different age brackets encompassing Full Marathon; Half Marathon and Mini Marathon.

The main objective of this project is to conduct and research on all activities which should be addressed in order to effectively organize and facilitate a successful marathon event. This will involve understanding the logistics, planning, and execution of a marathon, as well as identifying best practices and potential challenges.


What makes this project particularly interesting is that the proposed marathon will take place in Aloi, Alebtong District, Northern Uganda in East Africa. The funds generated by this marathon will be applied to support community projects such as introducing modern agricultural techniques in rural areas, offering scholarships to needy students, improving healthcare facilities; and offering improved and durable family housing to the community


What tasks will learners need to complete to achieve the project goal?
  • Listing and evaluating activities required for a successful marathon event
  • Devising a strategy for convincing donors, mainly corporates, to sponsor the Annual Marathon Events
  • Preparing budgets and cash flow management programs for a successful and sustainable Marathon Events
  • Devising and recommending governance and oversight measures to ensure a scandal- free marathon


How will you support learners in completing the project?

Learners will work closely with the leaders of this project to understand the work and the mission behind this project. There will be regular meetings and check-ins to ensure things are on track.
