We are proud to say that the Midnight Runners along with the United Nations are hosting this weekend Somalia's first marathon in 26 years. Participants taking part are from the entire region, including some elite runners and even a Rio 2016 Olympian! Please support the marathon's fundraising efforts. There is drought in the region and any contribution would be invaluable: https://www.dec.org.uk

In the days leading to the event, we hosted a workshop with the Somali youth on how to launch and grow a running community. We know that running can unite people of different backgrounds and we are committed to supporting their efforts.
