Story

We would like to introduce you to The African Striders running team.

We are a group of enthusiastic runners who have been fortunate to all get entries into the TCS London Marathon 2022!

How did we get so lucky? 16 of us all getting these hard to come by entries the same year? Well, due to the graciousness of the charity Children with Cancer UK. So now we are here to raise as much money for the charity as humanly possible.

Who are we?

We are 14 women (12 from South Africa, 2 from Ghana) and 2 men (sometimes the husband's are included). What is the common denominator? We love to run. And we believe that Running Is A Team Sport. Because most of all, we love to run together.

Just to be clear, we are not raising funds to get us to London or enter the run. We are paying for all of that ourselves. Anything we raise goes directly to the charity Children with Cancer UK. And we are planning to show the world how generous and amazing Africans are. We are passionate, proud Africans who believe in the ethos and love our amazing African spirit brings.
