Support of the “Heroes of the Belgrade Marathon” Foundation for the “Sport for All” Event

On the occasion of the International Day of Persons with Disabilities, for the sixth consecutive year the Belgrade Sports Association for Persons with Disabilities organized inclusive children’s sports games titled “Sport for All.”
As one of the primary goals of the humanitarian “Heroes of the Belgrade Marathon” Foundation is the protection and improvement of the position of persons with disabilities, the Director of the Belgrade Marathon, Darko Habuš, actively participated in this initiative.

The event was held at the Aleksandar Nikolić Hall and was attended by more than 500 participants, both children and adults. Children with disabilities, as well as children without disabilities from special and regular schools, day care centers, and clubs from Belgrade and several other cities in Serbia, had the opportunity during the event to try various sports for persons with disabilities, draw, win different prizes, and most importantly spend time together and socialize.
The Director of the Belgrade Marathon, Darko Habuš, was with them throughout the event, and at the end of the wonderful gathering he presented them with medals and certificates.

“The main goal of the event was to develop and maintain healthy inclusion, to spread and preserve the awareness that we are all the same and equal within society. It was very important to welcome everyone with a hug and a broad smile and show that together we can achieve anything. With pride and great satisfaction, we celebrated diversity and fostered equality—and that is exactly what ‘Sport for All’ represents. Through events like this and similar initiatives, we will continue to do so in the future,” emphasized Habuš.

In a conversation with the President of the Belgrade Sports Association for Persons with Disabilities, Draženko Mitrović, as well as Novica Todosijević from the Secretariat for Sport and Youth, Habuš clearly stated that the Belgrade Marathon will continue, through the organization of its races, to further encourage inclusion. He also emphasized that the establishment of the “Heroes of the Belgrade Marathon” Foundation has created the conditions to further improve these efforts and raise them to a significantly higher level.
