Chase the Moon Battersea Park 5K & 10K | March 2025

  • Battersea Park Central Ave England, SW11 4NJ United Kingdom (map)

Why not start your running year by representing African Children’s Fund in a 5K or 10K race with a twist - this time, you’ll be running under moonlight in the beautiful Battersea Park, nestled on the south of the River Thames.

Battersea Park is fast and flat, and this race takes place entirely on tarmac, so there’s definitely chance for you to secure a PB.

Whether you’re an experienced runner or a novice looking for a new challenge, we would love you to represent #TeamACF at Battersea Park.

CHALLENGE HIGHLIGHTS:

  • African Children’s Fund technical t-shirt

  • Chip timing

  • Unique themed medal & post-race goodies

  • Free official race photos

  • Full African Children’s Fund fundraising support

FUNDRAISING TARGETS:

£20 registration fee + 5K - £100 minimum sponsorship; 10K - £150 minimum sponsorship

why rUN FOR aFRICAN CHILDREN’S fUND?

Seemingly small donations enable our partners to minimise school absence and improve outcomes for children, leading to improved opportunities for prosperity into adulthood: 

  • £12 provides a girl in Tanzania with reusable sanitary towels and access to social education forums so she won't miss one week in four of her schooling; 

  • £20 covers the cost of a care pack for an orphaned family in Zimbabwe so they children concentrate on learning rather than working;

  • £90 pays for a mug of porridge for 1,000 children in Kenya, reducing the need for working, scavenging or begging for food;

  • £250 supports a social worker in Uganda, to resettle a child rescued from the streets with a family.

Yes please, i’d love to take part!
