Have you dreamt of ticking a marathon off your bucket list? Perhaps the beautiful city of Amsterdam is the place to make that dream come true.
Whether you’re an experienced runner or a novice looking for a new challenge, we would love you to represent African Children’s Fund on the streets of the Dutch capital!
The Marathon starts and finishes in the city’s Olympic Stadium while also taking in many of Amsterdam’s famous sites before heading to the district of Amstel. Pass the world famous Rijksmuseum before winding your way through Vondelpark and hitting the last mile to home.
CHALLENGE HIGHLIGHTS:
African Children’s Fund technical t-shirt
Official Mizuno race shirt & medal for all finishers
Livetracking for your friends & family at home
Full African Children’s Fund fundraising support
FUNDRAISING TARGETS:
£120 registration fee + £500 minimum sponsorship
Of course, your fundraising target isn’t your fundraising ceiling! Remember, for every £9 your page raises over your target, you could provide 100 mugs of porridge to help Kenyan children go to school.
WHY RUN FOR AFRICAN CHILDREN’S FUND?
The funds you raise during your sponsored challenge will reduce school absence and improve long-term outcomes for children, leading to better opportunities for a future free from poverty. Donations from your supporters make a big collective difference:
£12 provides a girl in Tanzania with reusable sanitary towels and access to social education forums so she won't miss one week in four of her schooling;
£20 covers the cost of a care pack for an orphaned family in Zimbabwe so they children concentrate on learning rather than working;
£90 pays for a mug of porridge for 1,000 children in Kenya, reducing the need for working, scavenging or begging for food;
£250 supports a social worker in Uganda, to resettle a child rescued from the streets with a family.
PLUS you can cross the Amsterdam Marathon off your bucket list.
