The Journeys Within Myanmar office was happy to share a few photos from the annual Yoma Yangon International Marathon, which was held on Jan. 17, 2016 in Yangon, Myanmar. Thousands of runners participated in this year’s event – which is designed to inspire athletes and connect communities, both local and international, through a mutual love for running – including a team from Journeys Within’s Myanmar office.
Charity funds raised will go to both the Su Taung Pyae Youth Development Centre and Aung Za Bu Youth Development Centre. Aligned with the charity theme of “Run for Children,” the organizations provide educational and residential support to more than 2,500 children, many of whom are orphans and come from areas affected by ethnic conflicts.
The Journeys Within team ran the 10K race and had a great time. More information can be found at http://www.yomayangonmarathon.com/
