  • The Indigenous Marathon Project Run. Sweat. Inspire Parliamentry Inquiry Into the Contribution of Sport
    Submission 049 The Indigenous Marathon Project Run. Sweat. Inspire Parliamentry Inquiry into the contribution of Sport to Indigenous wellbing and mentoring 1 Submission 049 IMP objectives 1. To promote healthy and active lifestyles throughout Indigenous communities nationally and reduce the incidence of Indigenous chronic disease: & 2. To create Indigenous distance running champions and to inspire Indigenous people. Background The Indigenous Marathon Project (IMP) was established in 2009 by World Champion marathon runner and 1983 Australian of the Year, Robert de Castella. IMP annually selects, educates, trains and takes a group of inspirational young Indigenous men and women aged 18-30 to compete in the world’s biggest marathon – the New York City Marathon. IMP is not a sports program. IMP is a social change program that uses the simple act of running as a vehicle to promote the benefits of active and healthy lifestyles and change lives. The group of men and women are similar to rocks in a pond, with their ripple effect continuing to inspire local family and community members as well as thousands of Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians nationally. The Project highlights the incredible natural talent that exists within the Australian Indigenous population, with the hope to one day unearth an Indigenous long-distance running champion to take on the African dominance. The core running squad push their physical and mental boundaries to beyond what they ever thought they were capable of, and after crossing the finish line of the world’s biggest marathon, they know they can achieve anything. These runners are trained to become healthy lifestyle leaders by completing a Certificate IV in Health and Leisure, with a focus on Indigenous healthy lifestyle.
