Take a step. Make a difference.
Running the Tokyo Marathon 2027 Charity as a Charity Runner with ADRA is a truly unique experience—something beyond an ordinary race.

Each step you take can help support the future of people facing chanllenges around the world. Your run can bring safe water, access to education, and opportunities to rebuild lives to those who need it most.

It’s more than just running. It’s 42.195 kilometers that supports someone’s future.
Run with ADRA and be part of something that truly makes a difference!

ADRA delivers relief and development assistance to individuals in more than 120 countries—regardless of their ethnicity, political affiliation, gender, or religious association.

By partnering with local communities, organizations, and governments, we are able to deliver culturally relevant programs and build local capacity for sustainable change.

Your generous contributions will be used where they are needed most, supporting the activities listed below.

Emergency Relief That Saves Lives
We provide urgent support—such as food, safe water, shelter, and psychosocial care—to people affected by conflict and natural disasters (inluduing Ukraine, Afghanistan, Myanmar, and others).

Education Support for a Brighter Future
We provide school supplies and essential materials so children can attend school and learn in a safe and supportive environment (including Nepal and other countries).

Livelihood Support for Sustainable Living
We support families and communities in building stable incomes while living in harmony with nature, fostering hope and resilience for the future (including Mongolia and other countries).

Health and Hygiene Support That Protects Dignity
We ensure access to safe water and promote hygiene practices, helping communities lead healthy and independent lives (including Nepal and other countries).
