Stop GBV Half Marathon Zanzibar

The STOP GBV Half Marathon in Zanzibar is a purpose-driven race designed to raise awareness around gender-based violence and support vulnerable families—particularly single mothers raising children with disabilities. Organized by the Asma Mwinyi Foundation in collaboration with national ministries, the event integrates athletics, advocacy, and cultural celebration. Held during the 16 Days of Activism campaign, the race features multiple formats: a half marathon (21.1 km), 10 km, 5 km fun runs, and special team divisions for corporations, embassies, and civil society groups. The course offers a scenic view of Zanzibar’s coastal charm and community energy, while the finish area hosts awareness campaigns and entertainment. International participants can also join virtually. Proceeds support AMF’s charitable efforts, making every step count toward lasting impact.
