Afghanistan Mini Marathon

BE THE DIFFERENCE THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE

Mini Marathon

Since 2018, Frontline Children have been the main flagship supporter and sponsor of the Mini Marathon of Afghanistan. This annual sports event that started in 2018 with our funding and support has seen over 500 children (aged 6-16) take part in this special occasion in the Bamiyan Province, Central Afghanistan. The project mission is to inspire young people through access to sport and new opportunities and has been a great success to date. Unfortunately due to the current security situation, the Mini Marathon project is on hold but we hope it will return soon. One of the additional impacts of the project has also seen primary schools in the UK design the official running t-shirt in an annual art and craft competition and also allowed children to better understand the culture of Afghanistan through a series of presentations and workshops delivered by Frontline Children volunteers across the UK.
