At the Dubai Marathon 2023 on 12th February
An early dawn ride on the school bus, on a Sunday! Where to? To the Expo City, Dubai. Why? All for the love of volunteering at the Dubai Marathon 2023. Who? The staff, the enthusiastic students, and the support staff of The Royal Academy. As joyful as ever, for being able to be a part, in this charity marathon. Volunteering, not for the first time though! 3 years in a row from 2016 to 2018 and now. The Dubai Marathon is an Annual Marathon held in Dubai, UAE. It is organized with the sanction of the Dubai Sports Council and is one of the most popular marathons in the world. Our role, the distribution of water bottles to the runners at the 25 kilometers point. Standing with joy and pride, beside the school banner, handing out water, to refresh the runners. Handing over a bottle, a quick take over, splash, gulp and on they go, the runners as the students cheered for them. A bottle given, is a smile added! An early morning heart-warming experience, of a different kind, from the regular school going one! Experiences which foster love and care. That’s the way, and it goes all the way! Keep it up team TRAC!
