Take on a challenge
Why not take on one of London’s most iconic races as a part of Team Amref this year?
Following the major successes of our incredible runners last year, we are once again looking for people who are keen to run for Amref UK in the London Marathon or the Royal Parks Half Marathon in 2023.
When you run for Amref, you will be raising money to support women, girls and their communities across sub-Saharan Africa break the cycle of poverty, and access their right to health, backed by a supportive and dedicated team.

It really was a privilege to run for Amref UK. I found talking about a charity I was passionate about [...] made fundraising a lot easier.
It really helped that you especially checked in on me and I felt well supported in the final weeks of the Marathon and throughout the run. My friend who ran with me even commented that the team’s support was amazing!
