TeamAIDAsha (TAA) is a beginner-friendly marathon/half-marathon training and fundraising program jointly organized by the volunteers from Boston/MIT chapters of Association for India's Development (AID) and Asha for Education. We have been training runners since 2003 to complete a Full (26.2 miles) or a Half (13.1 miles) marathon race while they commit to raise for two US-based non-profits: AID & Asha.
