Run for Change

Run for Change is Hand in Hand’s running initiative, where every kilometre is connected to efforts to fight poverty, with a particular focus on women’s entrepreneurship in Kenya. The initiative is both a virtual running journey, in which participants log kilometres in a shared Strava Club, and a way to raise awareness of the organisation’s work at major running events. You can take part whenever and wherever you like—by running, walking or cycling—and help raise funds and spread awareness. The initiative often culminates in a finale alongside the Stockholm Marathon, where Run for Change is featured at the expo and during the race.

Participation is flexible: you can run, walk or cycle and log your kilometres in a shared Strava Club. Run for Change uses a temporary tattoo as a symbol and has previously had a booth at the Stockholm Marathon expo. The initiative aims both to raise funds and to spread awareness of Hand in Hand’s work supporting women’s entrepreneurship.
