A Joyous Celebration: Run for the Bibleless 2025
By Mesuli Tshele
A Joyous Celebration
We are overjoyed to reflect on the success of this year’s Run for the Bibleless 2025, held at the vibrant Bunny Park in Benoni as well as running elsewhere in Pretoria. What an incredible day it was, blessed by God with perfect weather and an atmosphere filled with joy and purpose!
A huge thank you to all the participants who dedicated their time to support the essential work of Bible translation. Your involvement is making a profound impact, bringing the transformative message of God’s Word to countless communities across Africa.
This year, we had the privilege of witnessing an exhilarating turnout of over 400 runners! The energy was electric, especially with the introduction of our relay race, where nine teams of four raced with Bibles in different languages as their baton. Additionally, the kids' race was a heartwarming highlight, with our youngest participants beaming with excitement as they took part in their short run. Their joy and enthusiasm were infectious! These engaging twists were a standout moment, and we can hardly wait to expand these exciting features in 2026—trust us, you won’t want to miss it! Participants also savored our delicious “Boeries for the Bibleless,” with the tasty boerewors rolls being a massive hit. The sense of community and fellowship was palpable as everyone took the time to connect and learn about the impactful work Wycliffe is doing.
As we envision the future, we dream of the day when this run becomes a cherished annual tradition in our community and beyond. We invite you to join us on 14 March 2026—mark your calendars! Start inviting your friends early and be a part of this meaningful event that combines fun, fellowship, and the noble cause of ensuring that every person has access to God’s Word in their heart language. Don’t miss out next year; be a part of something truly special!
