PANAJI
It’s Goa’s first family marathon - Famathon 2018. Famathon aims at bringing all the members of the family on one platform on this day, February 18. A family which is physically healthy and mentally strong will be emotionally fit. Keeping the theme in focus and dedicating the year 2018 to family and building exemplary families in the State of Goa, Fomento Media has organised this one-of-a-kind event - Famathon 2018 - a beautiful blend of family and marathon on February 18. Linking the two concepts together this initiative by The Goan Everyday and Govan Varta will bring families together in a joyful celebration.
Family is a place that offers comfort zone, where one seeks refuge and is at ease. It is a place where one feels at home and wanted. It is a place where joys and sorrows are shared with equal passion and compassion. It’s a place where values get seeded and nurtured in the formative years, only to get deep rooted and stronger day by day or as years go by. It is to imbibe this value of the family in the minds of today’s GenNext that has seen only nuclear families around.
Living in nuclear families is a common trend in today’s split world and it’s really sad to see that members of even nuclear families are breaking apart and drifting away from each other. What can bring them together? Marathons are seen to help in having energised families, and so the two concepts have been linked together to make Famathon 2018 - a family day out. Participated by families, Famathon 2018 will have 1 km, 3 km and 5 km running formats on Campal ground at Sports Authority of Goa. The reporting time is 6 am and the event will conclude by 10 am. The participants will join in the warm up zumba session before the event. Also after they complete their run there will be a cooling zumba session. The 5-km run will start from Campal ground to Audi Showroom at Dona Paula and back. The participants will be served refreshments and snacks and provided vouchers or passes to spend the day along with their families.
Famathon is organised in association with LIC, JSW, CIL, JIMSON, VHAG and Zumba and the event is supported by Goa Police, CCP, SAG, Youth Peace Foundation and GOY.
