GOA MARATHON

RUN FOR HOME AND HOPE

The Goa Marathon, a pinnacle event on Goa's social calendar, is set to make a grand return on the 18th of February, commencing from the iconic Miramar Circle. Conceived by Mr Matthew Kurian, the visionary founder of the EL Shaddai Charitable Trust, this marathon aims to not only showcase the spirit of athleticism but also to raise awareness about the challenges faced by street children in Goa.

Initiated in the year 2012, the Goa Marathon carries the noble tagline "Run For Home and Hope," encapsulating its core mission: to provide shelter and optimism to underprivileged street children supported by the El Shaddai Charitable Trust. This esteemed organization shoulders the responsibility of ensuring the education and accommodation of these children, entirely free of cost. In a momentous collaboration, Incredible Goa proudly stands as the Lifestyle Magazine partner for the Goa Marathon. In this exclusive article, we delve into the remarkable endeavours of the El Shaddai Charitable Trust, shedding light on the commendable work they do for the welfare of the community.
