You don't need to make a financial donation to make a difference. Here's every way you can be part of Manguzi Gijima.
On the day
Volunteer
In 2025 we had a staggering 84 volunteers from local and out of town, assisting us across all areas of the event. Some even racked up a whopping 31,000 steps in a single day — proving that volunteering is a race category of its own.
If you are interested in volunteering, be ready to give the day your ALL — and come prepared with a hat, sunscreen, hydration, snacks, a power bank, and a pair of takkies!

Donate Materials
We are always looking for in-kind donations of materials, raw produce, and equipment. Manguzi has a landfill site and that is it — so we prioritise biodegradable and reusable options wherever possible.
Wetland water provides refill water at the finish line and at the event itself — helping to reduce our footprint on the local environment.
