Organiser's description

Every day in Namaso village, in Malawi, Africa, over 150 children walk 2.5 miles each way to the nearest feeding center, to have one meal. Imagine Africa is going to build these kids their own feeding center in their village in June of this year! This race is a fundraiser to help with those costs, as well as the monthly costs to keep it running!

On April 14th, 2024, at 9 AM, runners/walkers/supporters will participate in this unique run/walk 5k to support the kids!

All participants will get a race T-Shirt, a medal, and a racing bib.
