Westminster College MO- Sahara Marathon
On the 28th of February 2015, Students at Westminster College Fulton Missouri, did their own Sahara Marathon. They run in solidarity with the Saharawi refugees, and for the Saharawi Children's.
The Sahara Marathon 2015 is an international sport event to demonstrate solidarity with the Saharawi people and this year celebrates its twelfth edition.
It’s organized in different places around the world, with the main one held in the refugee camps south west of Algeria, where the Saharawi people have lived and continue to be stranded in the harsh desert with the hope of going back to their homeland Western Sahara. This event happens thanks to the help of volunteers from all over the world.
The actual 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.
Westminster college students run for a very important reason, they run to promote more awareness of the health and food needs of Saharawi refugee children
