🌍🏃‍♀️ Ready to Make Running History? SHOE4AFRICA is a GOLD LEVEL charity for Cape Town.

APPLICATION OPEN — HERE

This isn’t just any race. We strongly believe it will be Africa’s first World Major Marathon*, and is the 2026 Abbott World Marathon Majors Age Group World Championships (AGWC)—and, YOU could be part of it running with Team Shoe4Africa, a charity that was called ‘Africa’s Running Charity of Runners’ by Kenya’s National Television.

Shoe4Africa is a small charity working in Africa, aptly in the ‘City of Champions,’ Eldoret making huge impact. We’ve already built East & Central Africa’s 1st Public Children’s Hospital.

Run with Purpose in Cape Town and you will then be a part of Building Sub-Saharan Africa’s First Public Children’s Cancer Hospital.
Today, 9 out of 10 children diagnosed with cancer in sub-Saharan Africa don’t survive—not because the cancers are untreatable, but because the care is lacking. It’s a travesty as we know a ‘cure,’ as in America, almost 9/10 kids diagnosed with cancers survive…because the kids have access to kids’ cancer hospitals.

That’s why Team Shoe4Africa is lacing up—to change that, one mile at a time.

🔥 Run for the beauty of a marathon in the shadows of Table Mountain.
🔥 Run for glory of being the premier finishers of Africa’s World Major.
🔥 Run to save a child’s life by joining our fundraising team and raising a minimum of $2,400 (tax deductible) before race day.*
💥 Join Team Shoe4Africa, then spend a week in Africa with us with an option of flying up to the City of Champions for a tour of our projects in Eldoret, Kenya.
💥 Leave a legacy of hope through your running.
