🌍🏃‍♀️ Ready to Make Running History? 🏃‍♂️🌍

On May 24, 2026, the world will witness something extraordinary: the Eighth World Major Marathon—set against arguably the most breathtaking marathon route on Earth. 🌄✨

This isn’t just any race. We 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 charity working in Africa, aptly in the ‘City of Champions,’ Eldoret.
But here’s the real finish line: 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.
💥 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.
