GAME CHANGERS 2026 , WE SHOWED UP! 🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏾‍♂️🔥

Windhoek City Runners Club was proud to partner with One Economy Foundation to bring the Game Changers Vol. 3 to life.

The Game Changers initiative uses sport as a platform to bring people together, encourage meaningful conversations and inspire positive action around mental well-being, Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH), and standing against Gender-Based Violence and Femicide (GBV-F).

A huge thank you to One Economy Foundation for trusting us as your running partner, and to every runner, volunteer, supporter and partner who made today special. 🙌🏾

Today, we didn’t just run, we ran with purpose. 💪🏾

Every stride builds strength, every step sparks change!

Pain is temporary, but the pride of conquering Husab Marathon is forever. 🏆

Huge shoutout to every Windhoek City Runner who showed up to face one of the most scenic, and unforgiving course in Namibia. From the desert landscapes to the tough climbs, we crushed every kilometer together.💙🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️
