Bringing the World Together Through Sport<br />
Together with ‘One World Strong’, <strong>Cranford</strong> Community College has been leading<br />
a global initiative called One World Marathon which aims are to encourage<br />
teams that represent multiple continents, countries, and cultures. They hope to<br />
inspire people to see the benefits of working together as a global community and<br />
encourage others to develop similar projects. The One World Marathon (OWM) is bringing people together<br />
from around the world to achieve a common which is to complete 26.2 miles not as an individual but as a<br />
team. How you complete the distance is entirely up to you. You can walk it, run it, roll it, push it or even<br />
dance it. One group in the US completed this distance by line dancing and here at <strong>Cranford</strong> a group of<br />
under 12s completed the 26.2 miles dressed as superheroes. The inaugural event took place in April <strong>2019</strong><br />
and started on a Friday with the Dead Sea marathon and ended when the last runner crossed the marathon<br />
line in Boston on the following Monday. Despite lots of challenges we managed to get over 7000 people<br />
to participate in 63 different countries.<br />
A big thank you to all our students who helped to establish the OWM through taking part in international<br />
video conferences including one at the US Embassy and attending the OWM launch event at the UK<br />
Parliament.<br />
Buoyed by the success of the first OWM we are planning a second event in October <strong>2019</strong>. This will start on<br />
Friday 4th October <strong>2019</strong> in Amman, Jordan, and will again kick-off a team based global marathon focused<br />
on youth coming together across the globe. On Tuesday 8th October <strong>2019</strong>, the OWM will conclude at<br />
<strong>Cranford</strong> Community College in Hounslow. The OWM will end with an event for primary children called<br />
‘The World Comes to <strong>Cranford</strong>’ where we aim to get a child from every country in the world to participate by<br />
joining together in teams of 26 to complete<br />
the 26.2 miles. We know we have children<br />
from around 120 countries in Hounslow<br />
schools and the search is on to find a child<br />
from the other 70 countries. There will be<br />
over 500 children participating and their<br />
event will start with some multi-sport<br />
activities in the <strong>Cranford</strong> SuperDome<br />
and culminate with running / walking the<br />
perimeter of our playing fields.<br />
