Run100 Give100 is back for 2026, and this year we’re stepping into the challenge with a bigger goal, more runners, and even greater impact. What began as a simple idea — to run 100km and raise R100 or more for youth transformation — has grown into a movement of people choosing to turn their kilometres into something meaningful.
This year, 30 dedicated runners have signed up to take on the challenge. Throughout this month, they will each be running 100km, pushing themselves physically while raising funds that will support the life-changing work of The Message Trust.
R15 000 Raised — And We’re Just Getting Started
Thanks to the generosity of our community, we’ve already raised R15 000 toward this year’s campaign. Every donation represents more than just a number. It represents belief in young people, in communities, and in the power of hope and opportunity. The funds raised through Run100 Give100 go directly toward the work happening across Cape Town — supporting outreach programmes, mentorship, youth development initiatives, and spaces where young people can discover their purpose and potential.
30 Runners. 100km Each. One Purpose.
Our runners are already putting in the kilometres — early morning runs, evening training sessions, and everything in between — all for the sake of seeing lives transformed.
We invite you to follow the journey and cheer them on as they complete their 100km this month. Head over to our social media platforms to see updates, stories, and progress from the team as they run for the mission.
How You Can Be Part of Run100 Give100?
There are three simple ways you can support the campaign:
1. Give – Consider making a once-off donation to support one of our runners or the campaign as a whole. Every contribution, big or small, helps move us closer to our goal.
2. Share – Help us spread the word. Share the Run100 Give100 campaign with your friends, family, and networks so more people can get involved.
3. Cheer On the Runners – Encouragement goes a long way. Follow our social media pages and support the runners as they complete their 100km challenge.
Run100 Give100 is more than just a running challenge — it’s a reminder that every step taken with purpose can make a lasting difference. With 30 runners on the road and R15 000 already raised, we’re excited to see how far this community can go together.
We will keep running! Will you keep giving?
