Your challenge in May
Do you have energy to burn? Is your New Year resolution to get more exercise? Do you want to do something that benefits people? Here's your chance to combine all this in a single activity and make a big difference!
Join our sizeable virtual community #ZeroHungerRun from May 22 to May 25 to show what you’re made of: Run, walk or even cycle––at your own pace and without a fixed route. You decide when and where you start, whether alone or in a team. You’ll be part of a global movement against hunger. So join in, put your resolutions into practice and help make the world a better place!
The virtual #ZeroHungerRun in five steps
-
Where, when, which route?
We will fire the virtual starting signal on May 22 at 6pm. Which route you choose is entirely up to you. You have until May 25 to complete your activity within 30 or 60 minutes and to upload your route. If you want to challenge yourself, you can sign up several times! But please note: you can only upload one route per day. -
Sign up, donate and receive link
Participation is free, but donations are encouraged to help us fight hunger and poverty in our project countries. Immediately after your registration, you will receive a confirmation email and a link to upload your route. -
Running, tracking and your photo
Choose the time to start your activity yourself. Use a GPS watch or a running app to track your performance in kilometers within 30 or 60 minutes. After your activity, we’d love for you to share a photo on Instagram using #zerohungerrun and tag us @welthungerhilfe to help us share our message. Alternatively, you can also send us your picture directly by email. -
Upload your route
After your activity, enter your kilometers via the link in your confirmation email. You can also upload a photo or screenshot of your route so that we can verify your participation. -
Everyone is a winner
There will be a ranking at the end according to the kilometers covered, separated into 30 and 60 minutes. You can view the results lists from May 22 and download your certificate from May 26. In 2025, our special challenge is about which federal state will come out on top. Will Bavaria, Hamburg or Saxony clock up the most kilometers?
Everyone who shares a photo with #zerohungerrunchallenge or #zerohungerrun on Instagram and tags us will appear on our "Wall of Fame" on our website. -

The impact of your charity run
A life without hunger is a human right, yet around 733 million people worldwide suffer from hunger. Together, we are pursuing a monumental goal: #ZeroHunger by 2030. Our vision is a world where everyone can exercise their right to a self-determined life in dignity and justice, free from hunger and poverty.
Your donation is key to real change. The proceeds from the #ZeroHungerRun will go where they are most urgently needed to support sustainable projects worldwide.
Your donation – quadrupled
But your contribution does even more: with your donation, we can apply for additional funds from public donors such as the Federal Ministry of Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ), the European Union (EU) or the Federal Foreign Office (AA)––and often multiply them. In this way, one euro donated can become a fourfold contribution to the fight against hunger and poverty.
Your commitment to the #ZeroHungerRun goes far beyond the race. It gives people hope and a future without hunger. Join in and become part of the solution!
Wall of Fame
Post your photos and reels from your runs with the hashtags #ZeroHungerRunChallenge or #ZeroHungerRun and they will appear on our Wall of Fame...
