Run for CAFOD

CAFOD is the Catholic Agency for Overseas Development. It is the official development and relief agency of the Catholic Church in England and Wales, and as such has been fighting poverty in developing countries since 1962.

CAFOD works with local communities in 64 countries to help them meet their own needs. It does this through more than 500 partner organisations - trusted, local organisations staffed by local people who are working to reduce poverty.

We raise funds so that we can:

• promote long-term development
• respond to emergencies
• raise public awareness of the causes of poverty
• speak out on behalf of poor communities

This year CAFOD has places in the New York City Half Marathon, the ING New York City Marathon, the BUPA Great North Run, BUPA Great South Run and the BUPA Great Manchester Run and can also support your efforts in various other running events. Please click on each race to find out how you can join CAFOD in the race against poverty.
