Hello Runners,
We are all super excited to organize March LSoM 2020. We have identified couple of core areas where current LSoM structure can be improved
- How can we reach to local communities better?
- How can those have access to the event who can not afford the ticket?
Conventional social media propaganda reaches to the same people/groups. Instead of spending efforts on online promotion; we can go back to basics and spend efforts on offline promotion of not just the event but also share a few good things about running.
We can reach to most of nearby (say 2 km radius) schools and yoga/running/laughter clubs. Because the count of such groups will be more it can not be a single day event or can not be done by only a selected few.
Idea is to Share the benefit of running and/or share experience that changed people's life because of running and motivate people to join us.
We can run this activity in purely decentralized and distributed way for entire LSoM month; From previous LSoM to this.
Following could work
- Create multiple mini-groups of 4/5 runners from each running group involved in LSoM
- We can find out list of schools/colleges/groups nearby.
- Catch these local groups on suitable time; talk with them; share some presentation if exists; give them some free passes for needy or for those who can not afford the tickets.
- Finally, Share the numbers, Take the snaps and spread this on the social media
We are working towards getting roughly 15% free passes; eg., 300 free passes for total of 2000 runners.
We feel, doing such offline activities would be fun and would definitely give a new experience of life.
Let's make this LSoM more interactive. Let's go out and connect with people directly.
Let us know your view on this.
