AIMS India Foundation prides itself in integrating the community in all its activities and campaigns. The AIMS Marathon initiative, called Run To Serve a Graam, is one such effort to raise awareness and funds and it continues to be our largest annual fund-raising campaign, run entirely by our volunteers. Almost 100% of these funds (barring program expenses) have been or will be allocated to funding various AIMS projects and have been committed to making real differences in the lives of thousands of underprivileged people of India. Please visit our projects page on our website to see how we've continued to make a difference, one step at a time. Our marathon training program is conducted in partnership with several other charities that have all come together under the umbrella of Marathon Charity Partners. Though the charities have different missions, they all share a common goal. They all strive to make a difference through running!
 
 
 
 
We started this program in 2005 with 13 runners raised $13,000 in the first year. Since then, we have trained about 150 runners who have run Full or Half Marathons and raised about $120,000 to benefit over 5000 underprivileged rural children in India. We continue this program, now in its 7th year, with a goal to train 75 runners and raise over $50,000 to support AIMS India’s ongoing projects and programs. Now we are currently on to our 2011 training season and we would love to have you on our team. We are inviting runners, both new and old, to join hands with us in making it a successful year.
