The trip of a lifetime. Unbelievably well organised by Mark and the Street Child team. Whatever activity you take part in, you'll experience the amazing depth of culture found in Sierra Leone. You'll meet amazing people, enjoy amazing food and witness first hand the amazing impact that Street Child has. The local residents are so welcoming, and so thankful for the funds raised. I truly couldn't recommend this trip enough!

It has been a great event. Very crowded of runners and supporters.

This was an unforgettable experience! Very well organised by Mark and the entire Street Child staff!

My Fourth Time—and Still Blown Away Just back from my fourth trip to Sierra Leone with Street Child, and if that doesn’t speak volumes, I’m not sure what will. There’s something about this country that grabs hold of your heart and doesn’t let go. The music, the food, the warmth of the people—every visit feels like coming home to a version of myself I’d forgotten existed. And doing it all while supporting a cause as impactful as Street Child? That’s the real magic. Whether you’re running, walking, cycling, or just cheering from the sidelines, the Sierra Leone Marathon is more than just a challenge—it’s a transformation. It’s incredibly well-organised, but still raw in the best possible way. You’re not just ticking off a bucket list; you’re making a difference, shoulder to shoulder with the very communities you’re supporting. It’s the kind of trip that changes you. That makes you reflect. That reminds you of your strength—and your privilege. I’ve done it four times now. And I already know I’ll be back.

I had a great time. Such a unique idea and a fun race. Will be back for the next one
