1 Million Marathoners Movement

Every year, 1 million individuals around the globe cross the finish line of a marathon. Each runner brings with them a unique story—of courage, perseverance, triumph, and the boundless strength of the human spirit. The 1 Million Marathoners Movement is here to celebrate those stories, uniting runners from all walks of life in a collective effort to inspire and give back. Whether you’ve completed one marathon or 100, your journey is powerful. By joining the 1 Million Marathoners Movement, you become part of something bigger than the race itself. Together, we can amplify the voices of marathoners worldwide while supporting the vision of the International Marathon Center (IMC). The IMC, powered by the 26.2 Foundation, will be a global hub celebrating the marathon's rich history, educating future generations, and fostering a community for all. Your participation in this grassroots movement helps make this world-class center a reality, creating a space where every marathoner's story can live on and inspire others.
