ROAR RUN is more than a race — it’s a chance to impact lives! All participants are aiding in the mentoring and care of children and youth in Ndola Zambia, and helping them RISE, RUN and ROAR into their unique futures. Through your support, children of all ages will receive the love, care, and support of a faith-filled family, food, education, shelter, mentorship, and leadership training. Your registration also allows our young LIONS RUNNING TEAM in Ndola, Zambia to travel regionally for competitions in multiple distances from 5K to full marathons! And our Young Lions are turning heads! Thank you for helping us build lions!
