The country is progressing to find solutions to these problems though, including the opening of a new track and field stadium in the capital city, Majuro. The stadium will also act as a sea-wall to combat the rising sea levels. This new facility will provide the access to sport that the country is lacking, and combat not only the rising sea levels, but potentially obesity and participation in sport as well (Future Marshall Islands Stadium, 2022). This capstone research will be looking at creating innovative, performance running footwear, conscious of the challenges the Marshallese people are facing today.en-USCreative Commons BY-NC-ND 4.0-USRMIRepublic of the Marshall Islandsendurance runningcompetitive runningMicronesiaobesityTerminal Project
