Secret 3K

The Secret 3K is an annual run/walk held during the week of International Women's Day that celebrates everyone's right to be free to move. In 2015 for the first time ever, a marathon was held in Afghanistan, a marathon that both men and women were able to participate in but they had to keep it a secret. Why? There are still places in the world where women are not allowed to run or walk outside. However, a community in Afghanistan courageously carved out a new way forward for the next generation. By creating safe races they helped to create a safe place. We were inspired by their story and believed in the power of communities coming together in solidarity to support the right all humans should have to walk or run free of fear in their community. By participating you are helping us to increase awareness about gender equality issues and by making a donation you are helping to further the work of our charity partners to build safe and inclusive spaces that promote gender equality. Together we can empower women and girls through education and sport.
