Team Asha - Marathon Program - 2008

Asha Ann Arbor

Running a marathon is a true opportunity for tremendous personal accomplishment. It is a life changing experience, an achievement to be proud of for rest of your life, and it feels even better when you know the months of training you undergo will make difference in lives of India's underprivileged children. Although not an easy feat by any measure, but contrary to common thinking, running a marathon is something that can be taken up by people of all abilities. The training period lasts over a duration of 5 months and includes weekday and weekend runs, stretching routines, strength-speed-tempo training and comprehensive guidance from a professional coach. Over 80% of our runners are new to running or any form of endurance sports. So all you need is a strong desire, a little time commitment, and let Team Asha take care of your training and motivational needs.

Our marathon training program is the largest fundraiser for supporting Asha for Education supported projects across India. In addition, Team Asha is also proud to have been instrumental in changing the lives of hundreds of professionals across the United States by helping them realize their athletic ambitions and fitness goals.
