Das Sieger-Projekt
Congratulations to all our 2019 runners in Tokyo!
The winning cause with the fastest average time on race night was EDUCATION. Over the next year, Special Olympics Nippon (SON) will implement programming to address the winning cause with support from The Extra Mile funding.
Special Olympics Nippon’s educational programs focus on development of coaches, athlete leaders and individuals within educational institutions and corporations. Specifically, clinics and workshops will help to increase the quality of coaching. Athlete leadership development will include appointments of athletes to the Special Olympics board. Lastly, Unified Sports Opportunities will inform those within educational institutions and corporations about diversity and inclusion.
For the 2019 Extra Mile Global Challenge Tokyo came out on top. This means an additional US$10,000 has been donated to Tokyo’s The Extra Mile Partner, Special Olympics Nippon, who will use the donation to run alongside the project they are already delivering on Education.
