今年大會主題「打不倒的勇者 為紀念曼德拉而跑」,納爾遜•曼德拉博士為南非人權鬥士,一生為理想而奮鬥,1993年來台本校頒授「東吳大學榮譽法學博士」,去年12月5日辭世後,本校感念當年與博士結緣的初衷及其偉大情懷,特舉辦「67分鐘跑」及「67隊670人5小時接力賽」,希望藉由活動引起大家的共鳴,一同向曼德拉博士致敬。
This year's theme was "The Unbreakable Warrior, Running for Mandela". Dr. Nelson Mandela fought for human rights in South Africa throughout his life and in 1993 he came to Soochow University in Taipei, receiving the "Soochow University Honorary Doctorate of Law" Degree. Passing away on December Fifth of last year, our school wanted the opportunity to show our feelings of gratitude through the marathon theme. Hoping everyone would honor and remember Dr. Mandela, we purposely held the "67 Minute Run" and the "67 Team, 670 People, and the 5-hour Relay Race".
