We invite all athletes in all codes of sport with the same inspiration to use this opportunity to bring about real change in the lives of young people in South Africa. The gruelling nature of high performance endurance running presents an opportunity for testing one’s commitment, perseverance and passion. Join Vuyi and Tirisano Foundation to dedicate your run to our collective commitment and passion for education.

Only 37% of children starting school go on to pass the matriculation exam; just 4% earn a degree. At Tirisano Foundation we are working hard to alter this current reality to a brighter future of our children…
