ABOUT
1.3 billion people around the world are Bibleless...
Join us on SAT 8th MARCH 2024 at Bunny Park, Benoni from 07:00-12:00 as we run for the Bibleless (or join us at another location - REGISTER YOUR EVENT). This is a Kingdom cause, to see God's Word Alive across Africa, so we invite you to raise sponsorship (download the sponsorship form).
Register as a fun runner or come and enjoy everything on offer at the family event. By taking part, you both raise awareness for Bible Translation and help to support the work through raising sponsorship money.
- 2 laps (roughly 3.5km) or 4 laps (roughly 7km)
EVENT DETAILS
- There is a R155 entry fee for the main fun run, which includes the R4TB running shirt. (Ages 6-12 pay R145, and ages 0-5 are free with no shirt)
- There is a R130 entry fee for the Kid's Race, which includes the R4TB running shirt.
- You can run at our central location of Bunny Park, or you can register an event at a different location with us. There is an entry fee of R145 if you want runners to get the R4TB running shirt.
- The fun run is either 2 laps (roughly 3.5km) or 4 laps (roughly 7km) around the perimeter of Bunny Park. View the route map for more details.
- The kid's race is only 1 lap around Bunny Park.
- Wear a Bible-themed outfit; there will be a prize for the best dressed child and adult, so we dare you to be creative!
- We encourage you to keep your branded R4TB running shirt visible for the sake of photos and onlookers.
- The venue will be open from 06:30 for late registrations.
- Warm up & welcome is at 07:00, followed by an introduction to the Himba translation team. The Kid's race starts at 07:30 and the fun run starts at 08:00. You are welcome to join the fun run after the official start time.
- Stick around for our guest of honour and a presentation from the Himba Children's Choir at 09:00, prize-giving at 09:30, and the Bible relay race at 10:00.
- We have marshals and water points along the route. There will also be first aid available near the start line.
SPONSORSHIP
We invite each participant to raise sponsorship as they take part. Every penny will go towards the work of Bible Translation. We suggest aiming for R500, but we’ve had people raising up to R 30,000 in the past. God could really use you to further His Kingdom.
THE BIBLELESS
178 million of these people are without even one verse in their language... In Africa, 5.64 million people speaking 206 languages are WANTING and WAITING for translation work to begin.
To help work towards lowering this number, Wycliffe South Africa are partnering with BTL Kenya (Bible Translation and Literacy) to host Run for the Bibleless, a fun run, walk and family event to raise awareness and support for the Bibleless people of the world.
