Olympic Dream for Darfur- California International Marathon
Sunday, December 2 - 7:00 AM
As the world prepares for the 2008 Summer Olympics, an event that stands for peace and brotherhood, the games are being hosted by a country facilitating the suffering and destruction in Darfur. Through its economic, political, and military support of the government of Sudan, China is the most influential nation allowing the Sudanese government to continue to commit mass atrocities. China is therefore in a position to exert real and consequential influence on the crisis in Darfur. We have an extraordinary opportunity to reach out to the Chinese government, in its role as host of the 2008 Summer Olympics, to urge Beijing's leaders to use their considerable Leverage with Sudan. Olympic Dream for Darfur is organizing an Olympic Torch Relay from Darfur to Beijing and across the United States to galvanize public support around the world to exert pressure on China to stop the genocide in Darfur. On December 2nd the Sacramento Committee on Conscience will be organizing Sacramento's contribution to this national movement at the California International Marathon. At this olympic qualifying event, the Committee on Conscience will host several teams in the relay race and provide an opportunity for communities to "carry the torch" for the people of Darfur. The event will be divided into two parts, the maraFUNrun and the marathon relay itself. The maraFUNrun begins at 8:00 am and starts at 8th St. and Capitol Mall and crosses the same finish line as the marathoners. For those who are up to it, the marathon relay is held at the same time and on the same course as the individuals' marathon, and begins at 7:00 am and consists of four legs run by teams of four runners. The approximate distance of each leg is as follows: #1 - 5.9 miles #2 - 7.6 miles #3 - 7.0 miles #4 - 5.7 miles To participate in the relay or maraFUNrun email Ian Lobel at [email protected]
