Run For Conservation
Women For Conservation are excited to be part of this year’s Tangila Trail Series and are looking for members to join their team.
The Tangila Trail Series is a celebration of outdoor healthy living, hosted every year by Masebe Ranch in beautiful Mkushi. This year’s ‘Covid Comeback Edition’ is taking place on Sunday 21 November, and will be a ‘no fuss’ version of the event with limited amenities and entries available and only three categories: a gentle 10 km trail run, a challenging 22 km trail run, and a punishing 33 km trail run. All proceeds from the event will be donated to the Elephant Charge in support of selected wildlife conservation organisations and projects.
Women For Conservation’s Team
Women For Conservation are putting together a team of 15 women to race alongside scouts, and other members of the conservation community , to compete for the inaugral Solomon Chidunuku Memorial Trophy. Solomon sadly passed away earlier this year. He was the Senior Warden of the Muchinga Province of Zambia, and prior to that had served as Senior Wildlife Warden in Mpika. In 2017, he was presented with the Tusk Wildlife Ranger Award for his work in Zambia’s North Luangwa Province.
The team will be participating in the 10km run, which is a well-marked gentle trail, suitable for runners of all abilities. Women For Conservation will be providing their team’s registration, transportation, meals and non-alcoholic beverages, so all you need to do is bring along is your running shoes and your own camping gear!
How to join in
If you are interested in being part of the team, then please contact Maina at maina@wcpzambia.org by close of business on Wednesday 10 November 2021.
