Löwenmarsch in Berlin: Prince Ludwig combines donations with sport!

Berlin, Deutschland - This coming weekend, Berlin can look forward to a very special event. The lion march, a 100-kilometer run, is held in the capital and brings both athletic challenge and a charitable mission. Ludwig Prinz of Bavaria, the initiator of the project, launched the Löwenmarsch to collect money for the organization Learning Lions, which offers IT training for young adults in remote areas of Kenya. The Augsburger Allgemeine reports that the Berlin Löwenmarsch, instead of the full 100 kilometers, is more of a kind of training run for the participants, which in September on the original march will participate in Bavaria.

Ludwig Prinz of Bavaria is enthusiastic about the Berlin route, which leads through green landscapes and past picturesque lakes. He emphasizes that the run is not only sporty, but also an opportunity for volunteers from all over the world to get involved in a good educational project.

The true background of the lion march

The lion march was launched in Bavaria seven years ago and has developed into a real highlight since then. Participants from Germany and beyond can register without paying a fee. Instead, every runner should raise donations for the project. In August, the large, original lion march, which takes place from August 24th to 25th, is also on the program with a route from Kaltenberg Castle to Hohenschwangau Castle. Here a “small Bavarian folk festival” for spectators is organized, which makes the event even more inviting. Information on the registration and route can be found on the official homepage of the Löwenmarsch, such as the Bayerische Staatszeitung reported.

Prince Ludwig founded the IT project learning Lions five years ago, which now has a positive effect. Young people in Kenya learn digital skills to build a better life. The construction of a new IT school on Lake Turkana, the region, in which the many projects are successful, is already underway. The construction is supported by successful fundraising of the lion march. With financial support for an estimated three to four million euros, this educational institution is intended to convey creative and digital skills, which is of great importance for the region. This is already evident in the first successes: Graduates of the project often find orders in graphic design and similar areas, as [https://www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de/bildung-in-kenia-ein-it-im-im-nrendwo-100.html).

look into the future

The prince has already initiated discussions about possible lion marches in Brussels and the USA. He dreams of an expansion of the ambitious project to give more young people access to education in different parts of the world. "I see the lion march not only as a sporting event, but as a call to support young people who often have no choice," says Ludwig Prinz of Bavaria. So it remains exciting how this innovative concept will develop.

During the Berlin Löwenmarsch at the weekend, all participants can look forward to an inspiring experience that not only enriches them with fitness, but also humanly. Together it's not just about sporting success, but also about the positive change that the participants can do.
