DEFEND THE FATHERLESS
16 June 2026 | Register Today!
Our annual Run For Me Charity Fun Run brings communities together to raise awareness and support for vulnerable children in our care at Talitha Cumi Place of Safety. Participants run for a cause - helping to provide care, protection and life-changing opportunities for these children. The event has grown into a powerful platform for community engagement, drawing together families, corporates and volunteers who share a commitment to making a difference.
Together, we make a stand to
Defend the Fatherless.
"Run for Me" is an opportunity to run and show your love for one of our children at Talitha Cumi by writing their name on your Race Bib.
Make your support personal by bringing a new set of clothes (for the child you are running for) on the day of the event or donate financially towards their clothing fund at the event or when buying your ticket.
Next Step
Once your ticket has been purchased, please collect your race-bib either on Sundays at CRC Pretoria or CRC Johannesburg directly before or after the services or 8:00am on race day when registrations open.
We can’t wait to see you at the start line as you run with purpose!
