Running and Cycling Events
The farmers we work with in Africa face challenges every day in finding food and income to support their families. Why not take on a challenge and help raise vital funds to help some of the poorest people on earth.
Our latest events are listed below. Alternatively you may want to enter an event of your own. Whatever you do, every mile you cover will make such a difference to people in Africa.
We can provide you with
- An eye-catching Send a Cow running vest
- Training Tips
- Publicity materials about Send a Cow
- Fundraising Tips
- Encouragement and support all along the way
- A dedicated Facebook page to link up with other people doing running events for Send a Cow
- And if you want to run in fancy dress - farmyard costumes!
