Faysal Bank Limited (FBL) has reaffirmed its commitment to diversity and inclusion by returning as the Title Sponsor of the 2nd Faysal Bank SOP Unified Marathon Lahore 2026.

The event is scheduled for February 1 at DHA Phase 9, Prism Block A, Lahore.

Building on nearly a decade-long partnership with Special Olympics Pakistan (SOP) in Karachi and the successful launch of Lahore’s first edition in 2025, Faysal Bank’s continued sponsorship underscores its dedication to promoting equal participation, dignity, and opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

The SOP Unified Marathon has become one of Pakistan’s most visible platforms for inclusion, bringing together Special Olympics athletes, corporate leaders, families, professionals, and citizens to run, walk, or participate in wheelchairs side-by-side.

The event sends a clear message: meaningful social progress is achieved when everyone is included.

Faysal Bank’s support aligns with its Islamic corporate value of Care, guiding its approach to responsible banking, community engagement, and broader Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives.

Through this partnership, the bank continues to champion programs that break social barriers and foster a more inclusive Pakistan.

The 2026 marathon is expected to draw participants from across Lahore, with Special Olympics athletes leading the way.

Senior leadership from Faysal Bank, SOP representatives, corporate figures, professional runners, and celebrities will join differently-abled athletes to reinforce a shared vision of an inclusive and empowered society. The public is invited to register and support the initiative.
