GEF Globe Run

myles Events, Get involved

We see our GEF Globe Run series as as a way for runners/walkers from all over the world to unite during the COVID-19 crisis, kindly sponsored by prosource.IT and MDT International.

The 2020 GEF Globe Run series finished with the ‘how far can you run in 22 minutes’ challenge.  Each finisher received a unique medal celebrating the 22 children of Pavilion Village children’s home who inspired GEF to start back in 2014.
Throughout the series, which started back in April, each person who entered made a minimum donation (£10) and in doing so we are able to provide one of our families in Kenya with 4 days of food and essential items during the COVID-19 situation.

Full results of the 5k run can be viewed here.

Across our 2020 GEF Globe Run series we were able to achieve the following: 766 people take part in series from 30 countries across 6 continents and raised a fantastic £8,866.

Huge thanks to Will Shek and Jonathan Moniatis for their design work on this initiative and to Dennis Darcy for arranging the medals.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for supporting the GEF Globe Run series of 2020; we will be back next year!
