2024 United Airlines NYC Half
Run the 2024 United Airlines NYC Half
We are proud to be an Official Charity Partner of the 2024 United Airlines NYC Half!
As an Official Charity Partner, Amref will have a team of runners representing us in the big race…which YOU can join!
Sign up to join Team Amref in the 2024 United Airlines NYC Half Marathon on March 17, 2024! Join 25,000 runners from around the world, all while supporting the work we do.
This year, Team Amref is running to help more women in Africa get access to quality maternal care.
When you support Team Amref, you’ll help us train health workers to provide lifesaving prenatal, delivery, and postnatal services, ensure newborns have access to vaccines and proper nutrition, provide desperately needed beds and medical kits for small health clinics, and more!
Who We Are
Amref Health Africa is an African-led organization transforming African health from within Africa. We build up health systems and train local health workers to respond to the continent’s most critical health challenges: maternal and child health, infectious and non-communicable diseases, water and sanitation, and the lack of access to surgical and clinical services.

Our Team’s Impact
In 2023, Team Amref’s NYC Marathon Runners raised nearly $41,000 for our maternal and child health programs. This is our first year as a charity partner for the NYC Half, and we hope to raise an additional $10,000 to help more mothers and midwives across the continent. Since 2015, Team Amref has collectively raised over $300,000, which helped us bring quality, life-saving maternal care to women in places like Iten, Kenya, the home of TCS NYC Marathon champions like Mary Keitany and Wilson Kipsang, and Maridi, South Sudan.
