  • Impact Marathon (with Nick Kershaw)

    Impact Marathon (with Nick Kershaw)
    Apr 30 2024
    Nick Kershaw is the energetic leader of the dream and revels in making a vision into a reality - bringing people together through the power of running. In 2015, Nick left his job in finance, placed all his possessions in two bags, and set on his way to create Impact Marathons around the world. He is deeply passionate about almost everything, and he brings his relentless energy to every meeting, every race, every taxi journey...everything. He built Impact Marathon starting from zero, and has had to do the same again as we emerge for the pandemic. He lives, and breathes 'the power of running' but is inspired by every single Impact Runner, every single charity partner, every single team member who give so much to those around them. The Impact Marathon Series was born from a dream that they could use the simple power of running to uplift communities and empower runners all over the world. In 2015, they turned our dream into a reality, taking Impact Marathon to Nepal. Living in a Nepali village, they undertook the challenge of building a 5km water pipeline to the community, before lacing up their shoes and running their own race - it was then that they realised they have the power to change people’s lives forever. ---- Please subscribe to the Sports for Social Impact Podcast wherever you get your podcast!

  • Funding Development Work Through Sport (with Red Knot Racing)

    Funding Development Work Through Sport (with Red Knot Racing)
    Mar 19 2024

    Brett Harrison is an experienced endurance athlete, coach and event organizer. He’s coached numerous runners to PRs, a US cross country team to the state finals, and loads of people from couch to 5K. Brett has lived in Tanzania since 2009, working in community development with a focus on increasing food security among rural people. Brett started Red Knot Racing Company in 2012, in order to fund agriculture development work. In 2019 Brett registered non-profit organization Red Knot Development to scale his existing community development work while expanding its scope to include sports development and wildlife conservation.

    Brett’s affinity for mountain biking and trail running, combined with their love for Tanzania, left them no choice but to organize world-class endurance events here.

    They work hard to ensure our courses are unique and challenging, with the perfect combination of varied terrain and spectacular scenery.

    Red Knot Racing firmly believes the solutions to the world’s problems lie in sacrificing ourselves in order to improve life for others. They founded Red Knot to make the world a better place, and they stand by that commitment. A minimum of 2% of our total revenue supports community development work in Tanzania. But it’s not just money they contribute; our staff personally assists farmers and youth to navigate the hardships they encounter. They believe the power to motivate others towards lasting change comes from relationships. The way forward is by walking alongside people — not in front of them.
