Runners on the Mont-Blanc bridge in 2009
Geneva, Switzerland (GenevaLunch) – Geneva is gearing up for its annual marathon but this year’s competition is unlike any of its previous versions. For starters, three more courses have been added, two for children and one for women only. In addition, participants will have another incentive for running: raising funds for Unicef’s water projects.
Benjamin Chandelier, director of the Geneva marathon, said to GenevaLunch that the partnership with Unicef, which begins this year, will help the intergovernmental organization raise funds to buy water pumps for communities-in-need around the world.
“The organizing committee has decided to transfer 5 percent of the registration fees to Unicef, plus the whole amount of the registration fees for the children’s races,” he says.
In turn, Unicef will help the marathon by “setting up a progressive and ambitious development plan, and by promoting Geneva and its marathon in bordering countries.”
