WORTH-IT

MARATHON CLUB

Whether you are a walker or a runner or your goal is to get fit, kick a habit, lose a few centimetres or just improve your general health, road running/walking offers a cheap and easy way to achieve your goals.

Getting started is easier than you think, and with the Worth It Club you can be sure that your registration fee will be used for the development of sports for children in need.

You may ask why a foundation will start a running club?

Well, the answer is simple.

TO SUPPORT THE DEVELOPMENT OF SPORTS FOR CHILDREN IN NEED

By becoming a registered athlete and participant, your registration fee will play a direct role in

helping underprivileged children in access sports programs. These initiatives not only encourage

physical activity but also provide children with valuable life skills, improve their self-esteem, and

promote teamwork and discipline

WHAT IS THE MOTIVATION BEHIND OUR CLUB

To establish Running Clubs for the general public that focus on helping us to make a difference in our community and growing the base of active, healthy, happy and fearless athletes in the country.

To create a family-based experience that is not threatening or intimidating to social runners or walkers who are interested in staying fit, socialising or simply enjoying a healthy lifestyle and improve their sporting ability.

To make a difference in a child’s life

WHY IT MATTERS

Many children in need lack access to extracurricular activities, especially sports, which can have long-lasting benefits for both their physical and mental health.

By contributing to this cause, you're giving children a chance to thrive, both on and off the field.

We believe that every child deserves the opportunity to play, learn, and grow. Your support is making a real difference in their lives.

It's never too late to take to the roads and become part of our team.

Join us and become a part of the Worth It Foundation road running family!
