🍂 As the leaves begin to change color, there's another clear sign that autumn is upon us.
The growing number of runners training at the parks and local tracks. This can only mean one thing: fall marathon season is just around the corner 🏃♂️🏃♀️
Soon, runners worldwide will lace up their shoes to take on local challenges. And just like last year, we are going to support Exadellers joining in. We’ll be cheering them on from start to finish.
Stay tuned for more updates on our "Run with Exadel" initiative. Let's make this marathon season unforgettable!
Discover more about the marathon on our blog: https://lnkd.in/d6QwEVBY#RunWithExadel
As we’ve always said, after every race, we make it a point to sit down and listen. The feedback we receive from our runners is invaluable—it's not just about how they performed, that has pretty much never formed part of any race report (how crazy is that for a race organiser!?!), but how Impact Marathon has touched their lives on every level. We dive deep into understanding what has changed for them, what they’ve experienced, and how they've been transformed.
One story that truly stands out is that of Dionisio. A Guatemalan runner from our race back in 2021, Dionisio’s journey has to be heard. His story is a powerful testament to the impact we strive to create. It starts with one person, but the ripple effect reaches far beyond that—touching communities and the country.
Dionisio’s experience highlights the essence of what Impact Marathon is all about: creating positive change that spreads, one person at a time. It’s a reminder that the true impact of our races isn’t just measured in miles run, but in lives transformed.
Through our Impact Runner Development Fund, we support Dionisio with entry, transport, accommodation, and some Impact race kit - he went out and crushed the route yet he didn’t forget to treasure every step along the way.
We are incredibly proud of the stories like Dionisio’s that emerge from our races. These are the stories that fuel our passion and commitment to continue making a difference.
The IRDF is a project we are proud of, and we will share some more stories, but it is also something we want to grow - we welcome your input, your ideas to do this…let us know in the comments if you want to find out more, and have ideas on how to support our dream to grow accessibility to trail running.

Do you have runners on your team gearing up for races this Fall?
Here’s how to support them after their big event:
1. Encourage them to get up from their desk or workstation, stretch, walk, and move regularly throughout the day to aid their recovery.
2. Surprise them with healthy, carb-rich snacks and low-sugar electrolyte drinks.
3. Celebrate their achievement as a team!
Help your runners recover and stay motivated for their next race!
