The 10 km mini marathon race, which is
modelled after world - class marathon events like Boston Marathon and Lagos MTN Marathon, will feature 10,000 participants, 6,200 of which will be drawn from members of the Osun
Youth Empowerment Scheme (O'YES).
Underpinning this mission is their
model of
youth development, a theory of change that takes young people through self - awareness to
empowerment and, ultimately, taking action.
