New for 2027: represent African Children’s Fund at a true running festival welcoming over 40,000 participants: the Wizz Air Milano Marathon! Run through the vibrant heart of Milan, along a course that takes in the city’s most iconic landmarks.
Whether you’re an experienced runner or a complete novice looking for a new challenge, we would love to welcome you to Team ACF!
The Marathon sets off from Corso Sempione and finishes in the world-famous Piazza del Duomo.
MILANO marathon HIGHLIGHTS:
African Children’s Fund technical t-shirt
Official t-shirt and medal for all finishers
Variety of pacers
Refreshment stations
Full fundraising support
FUNDRAISING TARGETS:
£50 registration fee + £350 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 CHOOSE AFRICAN CHILDREN’S FUND?
The funds you raise from the Milano Marathon will reduce school absence and improve long-term outcomes for children in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Zimbabwe, leading to better opportunities for a future free from poverty. Donations from your supporters make a big collective difference. This is where you come in:
£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 tick the fabulous Milan Marathon off your bucket list.
