In the spirit of moving the mountain to Muhammad, we brought the first official Marin Magazine Decathlon.
Marin folks grabbed their masks, competitive spirit and tagged us @marinmagazine using #2020MarinOlympics as they hiked the Dipsea trail, walked the length of Stinson Beach, and took part in a number of other challenges we cooked up — all while helping the community.
Anyone who completed five of these items by the end of July earned $100 for PlayMarin. PlayMarin is a Marin City non profit focused on making Marin a more inclusive place through play. The $100 donations were made by Noyes Family Foundation on behalf of Make it Better Media Group with a maximum of $5,000. Thank you to everyone who participated and helped us reach our $5,000 goal! Go Marin!
