5 Days Until Departure

Training Progress

5 days until Cape Town! 🇿🇦

Last night we hopped on our final team call before we depart. Looking back at the months of early morning Strava logs and long runs, it’s wild to realize the time is finally here!

We spent our time last night praying over the final stretch: for health and fitness heading into the race, for the incredible local staff preparing to welcome us, and for a heart posture of surrender. We’re ready to give up the “control” of our training plans and let the Lord lead the way.

We are still pushing toward our goal of sending 1,000 kids to Young Life camp this summer and can’t wait to take you all on the journey with us. To our support teams back home: we hear you cheering, and we are ready. LETS GO!

Help Us Reach the Goal

Our runners are logging the miles, but we still need your help to send 1,000 kids to camp. Every gift directly impacts a life in Africa.
