Why ICT Marathon?

Marathons have always acted as a platform for different communities to come together and collaborate with each other towards common causes or problems faced by them.These marathons have represented unity and strength, and drawing on these principles, the ICT marathon is a flagship event started by the sports club of ICT to help give to society. Every year, the proceeds of this event go towards charity and cause-associated NGOs.

This marathon acts as a forum to publicize the cause related to the NGO's we tie up with.

Thus it is of great pride, to be a part of the ICT marathon, where everyone starts as equal and ordinary at the start line, but finishes as a HERO!
