ELGi AT THE COIMBATORE MARATHON
In 2017, we aligned the companyโs aspiration to become the worldโs number two with our participation in the marathon. This, with a view to creating a unique challenge for ELGiโs participating team. The team had to clock 28,251 miles which corresponds to the height of the worldโs number two peak โ a symbolic representation of our Conquer K2 aspiration.
In 2018, the challenge was to complete 100 km in the run-up to the marathon in commemoration of ELGiโs presence in 100 countries. Participants who clocked 100 km on the fitness app Strava were recognised on the day of the marathon.
In 2019 ELGi powered the Coimbatore Marathon, India on 6 October 2019. ELGi North America was also the sponsor of the Susan G. Komen's Race for the Cureยฎ, a marathon focused on fundraising for the advancement in breast cancer treatment. This marathon was scheduled on 5 October in Charlotte USA. As a lead up to both the marathons and in a bid to promote fitness as a means to ward off lifestyle related diseases and build cancer awareness, ELGi employees across the global participated in the #WhatโsYourFinishLine challenge ...
