Strides for Africa 5K Run

The Strides for Africa run/walk is a fun and family friendly event for all ages to participate and help us make a global impact. We are holding an in-person event in downtown Madison on August 17, 2024 at McPike Park in Madison to kickoff Africa Fest 2024. There are many options available to participants including a 5K run, a 5K walk, a unique Team Relay (simulating rigors of gathering water in rural Africa), a 1.5 mile fun walk, and a kids fun run.  

Our clean water, education, and health give back projects in Africa provide participants a unique opportunity to see positive outcomes within impoverished rural African communities. These outcomes include improved health, empowered youth, and ultimately transformed rural African communities. On the local level, our work provides an outlet for our participants and supporters an opportunity to be a global citizen.
