Solidarity Run Against Gender-Based Violence

November 23 to December 2/6, 2024

Múltíkúltí Travel organizes a trip from November 23 to December 2/6 to Kenya (Nairobi and Kisumu) and Tanzania (Mwanza) and optional Zanzibar. The main purpose of the trip is to participate in the Solidarity Run against Gender-Based Violence.*

The run is also part of the World March for Peace and Non-Violence (https://en.theworldmarch.org/) which will take place in Africa around the same time.

The run will be 5 km long and is open to both beginners and more experienced runners, as participants can choose to run, jog, or walk the distances.

Participants on the trip can choose to run/walk one, two, or all of the runs, as the cheering team is just as important.
