Impact & Sustainability
The RUNNING Challenge: Where Aspirations Meet Sustainability
An Ethical Approach to Carbon Offsetting
Today, sustainability, innovation, and global impact are more important than ever. As human beings, we crave challenge and exploration, but at what cost?
As we head towards the future, being conscious of our impact on the world is an imperative, and each of us can do our part (and more) to encourage a thoughtful approach to reducing our carbon footprint, while participating in a global world.
We balance this challenge by surpassing conventional carbon offsetting. Recognizing the limitations of most reforestation projects, we carefully select effective partnerships with leading environmental organizations.

MEET SARDAR AZIMOV: WHERE GRIT MEETS BUSINESS
Hello, I'm Sardar!
In the world of marathon races, few challenges are as demanding or awe-inspiring as The World Marathon Challenge. 7 Marathons, on 7 Continents, in just 7 Days…
It’s more than just a race… This challenge aligns with my core values of resilience and continuous growth, reflecting the extreme demands of human endurance akin to entrepreneurship, which requires innovation, adaptability, and resilience.
Entrepreneurship: A Marathon Unto Itself
At Skief Labs, guiding businesses through challenges is my forte. I believe that an obstacle is an opportunity for transformative impact. It’s that entrepreneurial spirit that mirrors the dedication required for The World Marathon Challenge.
My ‘Track’ Record
As of today, I have gone through 16 Marathons since 2016. My marathon feats include 6 sub-three-hour races, including the Boston Marathon.
I have been blessed to have the unconditional support of my family and friends through every mile/kilometer.
Objectives and Goals
More Than Just
a Marathon
Personal Growth and Professional Aspirations
This World Marathon Challenge isn't just another race for me; it's a culmination of years spent pushing my own limits, both physically and mentally.
As a seasoned marathoner and an entrepreneur, I've always been attracted to challenges that demand unparalleled resilience and grit.
This endeavor encapsulates not just a personal quest for growth, but a journey that echoes the highs and lows of entrepreneurial life.
Physical and Mental Preparedness
The commitment to run seven marathons on seven continents in just seven days requires rigorous preparation.
I'm currently following an intensive training regimen tailored by leading sports scientists and trainers.
This plan not only prepares my body for the ordeal but fortifies my mental resilience to withstand the pressures that come with such a formidable task.
Sustainability and Environmental Impact
My ambition stretches beyond the finish line. I aim to use this challenge to raise awareness for important causes that resonate with me.
The aim is to make this challenge as eco-friendly as possible, partnering with organizations and sponsors who share a commitment to sustainability.
I'm committed to offsetting the carbon footprint generated throughout the event, in addition to all offsets already offered by the organization.
Building Business Resilience
As the founder of Skief Labs, I've navigated the complex landscape of business, steering not only my own ventures but also guiding our clients through growth and challenges.
The same qualities that it takes to build a resilient business are required here: adaptability, problem-solving, and an unwavering commitment to our goals.
