On January 30th 2022, we’re doing something truly monumental. We’re asking 50 diehards to lace up their shoes and join us in Marrakech, Morocco for one of the greatest races ever.

Half-marathon or full marathon, we’re just looking for 50 of the toughest, most determined, most single-minded people to come join us. Men or women, young or old, so long as you’re over 18 and can physically do it, we want you. Not only is this a chance to fly abroad at an affordable cost for the weekend, you can take part in this awesome challenge and make a real difference to children all over the world. We’re asking every runner to raise £500 for our Orphan Sponsorship Appeal, helping cover the cost of food, shelter, clothes, healthcare and learning materials. Are you up to the challenge? Sign up today.

Why run with Human Appeal?

We’re veterans at this sort of thing. As part of the Human Appeal Family you will receive the absolute best support and guidance. Our qualified and experienced assistants will take you via a safe route to the marathon start and there will also be a dedicated team back home to advise and help you reach your sponsorship target as well as offering training and gear advice.

All COVID-19 precautions will be taken, Human Appeal works closely with suppliers to make sure everything is safe and within UK and Moroccan guidelines. We’ll be in touch in the lead up to the race with plans, FAQs and anything you need to know about safety measures.

Human Appeal has been helping sponsor orphans for 30 years, and are currently sponsoring over 17,600 children across nine different countries. One sponsorship can transform a whole future, and by helping our programme you can rest easy knowing you’re putting the child’s needs first.

All our work is overseen by our child protection specialist, who ensures children are never put at risk. In order to qualify, orphans must remain in school, safeguarding their education and giving them the academic tools to support themselves once they become young adults.
