Welcome to the 2024 Love in Action Challenge!

 
Get ready for a virtual race across Tanzania! Raise awareness and funds for Shade as you exercise. Create or join a team today and gear up to compete in May.

Your team will begin at the Shade Campus and will head south through 605 miles of scenic Tanzania, ending back at the Shade Campus in Shinyanga. Create or join a team of up to ten friends. Set a fundraising goal and begin to let others know you are racing to raise money for Shade. The race begins May 1st and wraps up on May 31st. Donations to your team can be made as soon as you create it.

You're not limited to running or walking! Most activities can be converted into miles and move you along the route. Think biking, yard work, exercise classes...even Shade advocacy counts (see below for a complete list)!

We have a goal of raising $30,000 to support Shade's work in Tanzania during this Challenge. After signing up, share your fundraising goal and invite people to donate or join your team.

Don't want to exercise but still want to help? Donate to a specific racer, a team, or split your gift among all participants to encourage them! 

Here's a preview of our virtual route. As you log in exercise, you'll see your team advance!
