Organiser's Description

TURKEY-SYRIA CHARITY RUN
Date of Challenge: Anytime during 2023
You will all be aware of the tragedy in Turkey and Syria. A catastrophic earthquake measuring 7.8 magnitude struck southern and central parts of Turkey and northern Syria. The earthquake was so powerful, it could be felt in other countries around Europe.

The earthquake, at the time of writing, has caused over 19,000 deaths, and hundreds of thousands of people left homeless. Now is the time to come together and show our support. This is why we have decided to organise a very special virtual run on the 4th and 5th of March to show our support and raise money to help people affected by this horrific natural disaster.

We will donate 100% of profits from all entry fees to the Red Cross.
