Join us for an epic adventure at the Sierra Leone Student Challenge.

Choose to run off the beaten track, discovering the beauty that Sierra Leone has to offer. Winding through tropical jungle and local villages, the varied routes will showcase some of the most stunning scenery that Northern Sierra Leone has to offer. 

From our full and half marathon course or the 5km option, there is something for all running abilities.

Regardless of the distance you complete, each race will provide you with a unique perspective on this beautiful country, as well as a challenge for body and mind.

This trip is so much more than just an awesome event. You will have the opportunity to explore Northern Sierra Leone with fellow students, attend workshops and discover more about Street Child's work, all whilst completing research into international development and humanitarian aid as part of a dedicated placement.

Your epic racing adventure will begin at dawn, starting and finishing at Wusum stadium in Makeni, where you will receive a hand-carved medal!

After a well-deserved rest that evening, you then have the option to take a triumphant flight home or continue your journey to one of Sierra Leone’s tropical beaches. 

However you design your trip, one thing is certain: the Sierra Leone Student Challenge will provide the adventure you are looking for.
