The event, to be held at 451 Northmount Drive NW, Calgary, will run in four-hour learning segments, allowing participants to join or leave at any time. Attendance is free, and in-person participants will also receive complimentary meals.
Adeleke, author of Born to Lead, Called to Serve, explained in an official video for his record attempt that his goal goes beyond breaking a record. “It’s not just about breaking a record, it’s about changing the narratives of leadership for today and tomorrow,” he said.
He added, “If you check every area of life one thing that is common is the quality of leadership available, but it is unfortunate that as common as that word is, not everyone understands what it takes to be a great leader. But here’s the truth, leaders aren’t born, they are made.”
Known by his stage name Peter Trailblazer, Adeleke described the marathon in an article on his website as a “one-stop leadership solution designed to empower professionals, entrepreneurs, and visionaries to thrive.” He emphasized that the challenge is not just a personal ambition but a way to inspire a new generation of transformational leaders.
“I’ve always been passionate about reshaping the way we think about leadership. For me, it’s about more than just theory or titles — it’s about transforming individuals and helping them realize their full potential as leaders. We aim to empower people to become more effective, authentic, and impactful leaders, not only by teaching essential leadership skills but by fostering a mindset shift that enables them to inspire and drive change within themselves and their teams,” he said.
“Throughout my career and academic journey, I’ve been deeply passionate about leadership—particularly Global Transformational Leadership. I believe that leadership is not just about managing people; it’s about inspiring, empowering, and creating positive change that transcends borders. As I attempt to break this record, I’ll deliver a series of speeches focused on leadership principles that integrate faith and global transformation. These speeches equip individuals with strategies to thrive in their careers, businesses, and personal lives,” Adeleke added.
According to him, the marathon will cover essential leadership themes and include job fair opportunities to connect participants with practical career pathways.
“Having earned a Master’s degree focused on leadership, I have spent years refining my understanding of how great leaders can shape the future. Now, I want to share that knowledge with the world. Through this leadership marathon, we will explore Emotional Intelligence, strategic planning, and effective communication. Participants will gain hands-on tools to master Conflict and Crisis Navigation, and Lead Change. In addition, attendees will access Job Fair Opportunities that bridge leadership potential with real-world possibilities,” he wrote.
