A first for us at African Children’s Fund: take on a memorable 10k or Half Marathon in and around the city of Gloucester, combining the city centre’s landmarks with closed road sections that head towards the canal path.
With both events taking place on a varied and rewarding course, you’ll enjoy plenty of local support along the way.
Whether you’re an experienced runner or a novice looking for a new challenge, we would love you to represent Team ACF on the streets of Gloucester next March.
CHALLENGE HIGHLIGHTS:
African Children’s Fund technical t-shirt
Chip timing
Unique themed medal & post-race goodies
Free official race photos
Full African Children’s Fund fundraising support
FUNDRAISING TARGETS:
10K - £20 registration fee + £150 minimum sponsorship; Half Marathon - £30 registration fee + £150 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.
