THE NEXT START LINE IS TAKING SHAPE.

S’inscrire early, plan your race and follow confirmed event information as the next edition develops.

More than a marathon

Different ages. Different abilities. Different reasons.
One finish.

The first edition proved the event could happen. Edition Two is about creating stronger systems, participation pathways and a city experience around that proof.

Ways to participate

Seven ways into the story.

Your Événement Project controls the official race categories. Active categories link to registration; when a new edition is still being configured, the standard preloaded categories can appear here as Coming Soon.

Course categories are being configured.
Culture on the road

A marathon that looks like home.

Traditional attire, music, food, landmarks and community are not side attractions. They are part of the race identity. YCM is building a city experience where running becomes a way to see, celebrate and share Cameroon.

Inclusion · Neurodiversity · Access

Good intentions are not enough. We plan for access.

The inclusive category belongs at the centre of YCM’s future. Edition Two can build a stronger experience around autism awareness, neurodiversity, physical disability, visual impairment, families and caregivers.

Partner Early

EARLY PARTNERS HELP SHAPE THE COURSE — NOT JUST APPEAR ON IT.

YCM is early enough for useful partners to build visibility, services and long-term credibility into the event before categories become crowded.

01

Founding visibility

Build association with YCM while its long-term partner story is still being formed.

02

Catégorie opportunity

Early conversations create more room for relevant category ownership and useful activation.

03

Longer activation runway

Commit earlier and there is more time to create experiences instead of only placing a logo.

04

Proof plus growth

Use the completed edition as evidence while helping the next edition become stronger and more scalable.

Partnership

Don’t rent a corner. Own a moment, an audience or a service.

YCM partnerships are built around useful experiences, audiences and services — from timing and hydration to inclusion, community and the finish experience.

Partner profiles are being prepared.
Get involved

A city race is built together.

Volunteer, partner, sell, serve, tell the story or bring your community into the race. YCM has different pathways into the event beyond the start line.
