AMABEADIBEADI

Race4Charity offers runners an opportunity to turn their running efforts into something great for charity. The campaign is intended to foster wider support for charitable fundraising for the CMA’s six official charities.

Every cent you raise counts and adds to our charities incredible cause. In addition, should you raise R6000 or more, you will have the opportunity to improve your seeding to C batch, although this is not a requirement. Any amount can be raised for charity!

P.S If you donate R100 or more when entering for Comrades, you will receive an Amabeadibeadi gift inside your race pack at Race Registration.

HERES HOW IT WORKS

I am a Comrades Marathon Runner: When entering participants will have the option of joining Race 4 Charity before completing an entry. Once you have selected yes to create a Race 4 Charity page, participants will then get to choose which one of the five AmaBeadiBeadi charities they would like to support. Once a Race 4 Charity page has been created your name will appear on the Race 4 Charity fundraiser page. Let the fundraising begin!

The spirit of the Comrades Marathon is said to be embodied by attributes of camaraderie, selflessness, dedication, perseverance, and UBUNTU which simply means humanity towards others. Beyond the sense of achievement that you will get from finishing the Comrades Marathon, running on behalf of a charity will give you further purpose for completing the event.

Make a change

Each one of us can make a difference but together we make a change. Your donations help us give orphaned children what every child needs to flourish, help those in dire situation and help save the ocean and the environment. By joining Race4Charrity you will be changing lives.

Motivation

We all have days where we find ourselves hitting the wall during training or the race itself. Raising funds for charity can give you an extra incentive to keep on going not only for yourself but those who are less fortunate. Knowing the cause is no longer about you helps you push beyond the limits.

Awareness

Comrades Marathon is a world-renowned ultramarathon, this is an ideal stage to increase an awareness about the worthy cause to the whole world. Abundance of national T.V and other mass media coverage plus thousands of spectators along the route.

Friendly support.

Spectators give charity superheroes an unmatched, unconditional, and unwavering support on the race day. But there is nothing that will beat that warm and fuzzy feeling you will receive on your charity organization who are guaranteed to be on the route on the race day. This will make you gradually increase your fundraising efforts.
