Run for Sudan: A Community Effort for Awareness and Action

I recently participated in the Run for Sudan events hosted by the incredible Surf organization this month (December), and I was deeply impressed by their mission and execution. Surf is actively working to spread awareness about the ongoing genocide in Sudan, and they’ve found a fantastic way to bring people together for this vital cause.

Fitness Meets Advocacy
Attending both runs was a truly rewarding experience. It was a brilliant idea to create an environment where the community could come together, get a workout in, and simultaneously be informed about the devastating situation in Sudan. It transforms a simple exercise routine into an act of collective advocacy.
Inclusive and Thoughtful Planning

What I particularly loved about this event was the consideration and thoughtfulness shown by the leaders. Recognizing that not everyone prefers to run, they created two separate groups to accommodate different paces:

• Walk Group 1: For those who preferred a brisk walk around Prospect Park.
• Run Group 2: For participants looking for a traditional run.

This inclusivity ensured everyone felt welcome, regardless of their fitness level.

Connecting for a Cause
Both groups successfully met back at the designated finish line, where participants could enjoy a cup of coffee or grab a bite to eat. The Surf organization maximized this gathering time by sitting down with attendees to share information about their upcoming events. The best part? All proceeds from these future events will go directly to supporting Sudan.
