Marathons for Change

Global runs with local impact

At Aid Pioneers, we know authentic change doesn't happen in a mere sprint. It's a marathon of commitment. That’s why we invest in locally-led initiatives that endure long after international aid responses move from one crisis to the next.

We no longer offer marathon slots, but if you already hold your own running place it can still do plenty of good! Every kilometre you run can help fund further education in Lebanon or support lifesaving work on the frontlines in Ukraine.
Reach out, and we'll help you turn your training into a fundraiser, giving those final weeks before race day a bit more fire.

We offer you the freedom to choose a cause close to your heart

Running for a cause you believe in elevates your marathon experience beyond personal fulfillment to benefit others as well. We experienced this firsthand in 2023 when four members of the Aid Pioneers team completed a half Ironman to deliver medical supplies to frontline hospitals in Ukraine. Therefore, we offer you the freedom to select a projects from our project database or suggest one that doesn’t exist yet. This way, you can be sure that your commitment aligns closely with your humanitarian intentions.
