Teams of 8 will take turns running all 3 trail loops. Each runner will complete a total of 15.7 miles. Each trail begins and ends in Ragnar Village. It is the start line, the finish line, and the exchange point. After each loop you will return to the support of your teammates and the adulation of the teams around you.
At Neema, we often talk about the power of community, of going together and reaching further because we’re not alone. Last year, about 200 other people from 7 states and 13 countries participated in our Solidarity Stomp.
This year, we hope to surpass the number of participants and raise $18,500! Click here to register for our 3rd annual virtual Solidarity Stomp and invite your social followers, friends, and family to join you in this virtual race on May 13-15. When we all join together from different locations around the world, we can have an even greater impact!
Be sure to save your favorite images below to share them on social media and encourage your friends and family to join you in “stomping” for the young women at Neema!
What's a virtual race? It’s a race you do at your own pace, from wherever you're located, and in your own way. Join us anytime between May 13-15 from wherever you're located. You can decide to run, walk, hike, bike...whatever gets you moving! The full distance is 11.67 km(*) (7.248 mi), and the half distance is 5.83 km (3.624 mi).
Whatever you decide, just do it in the allotted time frame. That way we’re all doing it “together.”
Be sure to tag @neemaproject with #WeTrekkedToKenya2022 and #NeemaSolidarityStomp. We’ll share your posts on our Instagram stories when you tag us during your training leading up to the race weekend and also during your run! Our top 5 fundraisers will also get a special shoutout on our social media platforms the Monday after the race and receive a Neema gift.
We’d love it if you stand in solidarity with the Neema Community!
*11,665 km is the distance between our home base in West Chester, PA and the Neema school in Kitale, Kenya. 5,832 km is half of that.

At Neema we often talk about the power of community, of going together and reaching further because we’re not alone. And even though our current circumstances mean we have to be apart, we can still stand together in solidarity for the things we care about...like Neema!
How can we support Neema TOGETHER, even though we’re apart?
