Márkó Running Club

The Márkó Running Club was founded in the summer of 2018. Its primary goal is to promote the joy of exercise and running. In addition, an important mission of the association is to raise awareness among all age groups about the importance of regular sports and physical activity. Another objective of the organization is to support the sporting life of communities living in Márkó and the surrounding settlements. To achieve these goals, the association organizes amateur sports tournaments, running races, family &skill competitions, as well as obstacle and relay races for younger age groups, thereby setting an example for how to spend free time productively. When organizing these programs, our enthusiasm, diligence, and dedication are always combined with the necessary expertise. 

In addition to regular physical activity, the association also considers it important to organize programs aimed at maintaining health. On several occasions, public meet-and-greets with renowned athletes have been held, during which attendees had the opportunity to gain insight into the daily lives of professional athletes. The association’s members also place great emphasis on environmental protection and we consider fostering environmental awareness from a young age to be of key importance. That is why we do not use plastic cups at our sporting events; we encourage everyone to use their own water bottles and ensure access to water stations at all times. 

We believe that a healthy body leads to a healthy mind. That is why the members of our association live their daily lives in accordance with this Latin saying and set an example for their community and younger generations.
