Inspiration to Run! - What Will Your Impact Be? - Uganda International Marathon

Running is the greatest leveller we know. It holds no prejudice. Kings can run with paupers, world champions with novices, friends can run with enemies, grandparents with children - the sport transcends race, gender and age. You need neither talent nor wealth - you simply need the will to stand up and just run. Humans have been running since our first existence. It is how we have survived, how we evolved. Without running our species would not still be here today. It is humanity in its most natural form.

A great runner is not measured by the gold medals around their neck. Nor the world records they hold. No. A great runner is measured by the way they carry themselves, the confidence they (??), the way they speak to their colleagues, their friends, their enemies. A great runner is measured by the strength they imbue in their children, the happiness of their family. The joy they create on simply entering the room. It is not distance, nor time that counts, but the strength that lies within. Some days are good and some days are bad - but on each day that you run, your spirit has the opportunity to rise, to soar...your spirit runs free. And so, a great runner is measured by the impact they have on society, the impact they have on the world.
