MESSAGE
OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE
INTERNATIONAL OLYMPIC COMMITTEE
All over the world, the Olympic Day Run is a great moment of sport,
solidarity and celebration, which thousands of people look forward to.
Every year, on the five continents, men and women, children and seniors,
athletes of all ages and from different sports, celebrate in their own
way the creation of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the
birth of the modern Olympic Games by taking part in an event that is
more than just a run.
It is a unique opportunity to share Pierre de Coubertin’s vision,
promote the development of those physical and moral qualities that are
the basis of sport, use sport to educate young people in a spirit of
better understanding between each other and spread the Olympic values of
friendship, excellence and respect throughout the world, thereby
creating international goodwill.
In the organisation of this important event, the IOC is accompanied by
its partners. We are grateful for the commitment and enthusiasm of our
worldwide Olympic partner, McDonald’s, which has been supporting the
National Olympic Committees in making this Run a success during the last
six years.
More than ever, sport has to be a social movement that can offer to all
the generations, but young people in particular, the chance to lead not
just a healthier, more balanced life, but a more meaningful one. The
Olympic Day Run is an excellent way of achieving this.
Thank you for your commitment to sport.
A Happy Olympic Day!
Jacques ROGGE
IOC President |
