Thank you for your interest & support! Our team are running 42km of rural trails around the neighbourhoods of Sierra Leone on 5th May. We’re expecting 30 degrees Celsius and average 90% humidity! We’re doing it in aid of Street Child’s work, helping children to gain an education in one of the world’s toughest places to do so.

We are hoping to raise £30,000 as a group and 100% of proceeds go directly to Street Child. We have covered all of our own travel and race costs. If you can spare a donation, please use this page and your kindness is very much appreciated.

A bit about Street Child in Sierra Leone…

When Street Child started working in Sierra Leone in 2008, it was the poorest nation in the world. Today, children continue to face significant barriers to learning, with 36% of children never completing primary school and many more leaving school without foundational literacy and numeracy skills. Without intervention, children risk getting stuck in a cycle of illiteracy and poverty.

Your support of the Sierra Leone Marathon is critical to the work we do as it is with your support we have been able to support over 749,920 children into education and support 89,773 families to set up businesses so they can afford the cost of educating their children long-term.
