Run Liberia
Save More Kids, a US based 501(c)3 nonprofit operating in Liberia, West Africa, is organizing Run Liberia; a half marathon (13.1 miles / 21 KM) in the Panta District of Liberia, with the goal of raising approximately $400,000 to build a fortified road that will connect the village of Garmu, and the surrounding twenty-seven villages, to a main paved thoroughfare. Currently, the over 30,000 residents in the region traverse a mangled patchwork of dirt (and often mud) roads to reach outlying villages and cities. The lack of reliable transportation routes severely limits commerce and intrastate trade, inhibits access to medical care, and contributes to a cycle of poverty that could otherwise be disrupted.
Save More Kids is seeking corporate sponsors, runners, and individual donors interested in joining our effort. Proceeds from the race, individual donations, and contributions from sponsors will go towards the developmental cost of building the road and staging the event. During the event, Liberians and international participants will run side by side along the actual route that the road will be built and enjoy a cultural exchange in the beautiful country of Liberia.
