Equality is a human right. There is no equality until everybody is equal. We want to stand up and run for that. The Equal Race is a marathon in Liverpool on June 28th. It will raise funds for the Stephen Lawrence foundation as well as The Bail Project who are on the frontline in the battle against systemic racism and injustice in the USA now trying to end the cash bail system and pretrial detention as well as providing bail money to the people who are in detention while innocent in the mean time. 100% of funds generated will go directly to these charities at 50% each.

We would love you to join us in solidarity. Run your own marathon on the 28th, run as a group (regulations say 6 per group max and socially distanced) run on another day, split it up and share it, walk it, bike it. However you want to take it on, this is the one race organised where every participant is equal, the journey you take to your finish line is no more important than anyone else's. A philosophy that our world should be living by.

The reason that we've had to make this page without the money going directly to the charity is because we found no other way to create a fundraising stream to go directly to the charities that we want to support. It is near impossible to set up a fundraising stream going straight to charities supporting the fight against racial inequalities without taking donations yourself to then distribute. This is something we are going to do our best to change so more people can take the opportunity to raise money for their beliefs and for the rights of our brothers and sisters. We have to reach out to platforms like JustGiving and GoFundMe and encourage them to increase the number and diversity of charities they allow direct funding with.

The race toward a better future IS going to be a marathon. But we will run it together, in equality.
