It takes one extraordinary person to run a marathon – four to conquer The Greatest Race on Earth. Competitors from around the world will battle blisters and blistering heat, extreme altitudes and draining humidity. And just as it takes commitment and teamwork to compete in the GROE marathon relay series, we all need to work together to make the planet a better place to be. When combined, the actions of many individuals can make a big impact.

The fastest running teams stand to win a share of a prize pool of just over US$1 million – the biggest in world athletics. And in addition, Standard Chartered, will also donate USD 1 million to support vital environmental conservation projects.
