RUN4SUDAN

Every Step Brings Relief

Join Muslim Hands Canada for RUN4SUDAN on Sunday, August 30, 2026, a day of compassion, community, and collective action to support families facing one of the world’s most devastating humanitarian crises.

In collaboration with WomensFit Sauga and STRONGWMNTO, we’re uniting to raise funds for displaced Sudanese families enduring unimaginable hardship.

According to the World Food Programme (WFP), more than 19.5 million people are experiencing crisis-level hunger in Sudan, with some communities facing catastrophic conditions. Millions have also been forced to flee their homes due to ongoing conflict and insecurity.

Whether you run or walk, or support the event from the sidelines, your participation can help provide emergency food assistance to families facing hunger.

Together, we can save lives in Sudan.
