Codan’s Marjolijn Woods Runs for YO!

Codan's Marjolijn Woods Takes on the TCS New York City Marathon for YO!

We’re thrilled to announce that Codan’s Chief Human Resources Officer, Marjolijn Woods, will be taking on the TCS New York City Marathon later this year in support of Youth Opportunities! 

As a leading South Australian technology company, Codan has been a major supporter of Youth Opportunities for the past four years. Through this partnership, Codan has helped empower young people to build confidence, set goals and develop personal leadership and life skills they need to thrive. 

Marjolijn embodies the values that are at the heart of Youth Opportunities; self-belief, resilience, determination and the confidence to step outside your comfort zone. Taking on the iconic 42.2km TCS New York City Marathon is no small feat, and we’re incredibly proud to have her running in support of our mission. 

On 1 November 2026, Marjolijn will join thousands of runners on the world-famous course through all five boroughs of New York City - Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx and Manhattan. With Codan’s support we are one step closer to raising awareness and vital funds for Youth Opportunities to continue to make a positive change in the lives of young people & our community. 

We’re incredibly grateful for our ongoing partnership with Codan and can't wait to cheer Marjolijn on every step of the way. Together, we're helping create brighter futures for young people. 

Follow along over the coming months as we share Marjolijn's marathon journey and the impact your support can make.
