Wild Women in Europe 2024

The Wild Women (WW) story started in South Africa in 2012 when a group of friends organised to run the Wild Coast in a safe, supportive and inexpensive way. The plan was the friends would create a fun, non-competitive and nurturing environment for women to go out and have a cool multi-day adventure in a place of astounding natural beauty.

In 2017 one of the founders of the WW moved with her family to Beijing, China where I was also based with my family. It was here that the dream of running Wild Women along the majestic Great Wall of China began and Wild Women on the Wall (WWoTW) was born.

I participated in the first WWoTW held in April 2019 with 24 other ladies representing 12 nationalities brought together largely due to their life in Beijing, fundraising for two charities specifically focusing on children. This WWoTW 2019 was a huge success with RMB 144,877 (NZD~32,000) raised.

Play it forward 5 years and I have been convinced to take part in the first ever Wild Women in Europe (WWEU) and will join 24 other women to cover ~110kms run/walking along part of the Camino, Spain in October 2024.

Each Wild Woman is required to pay her own way with 100% of sponsorship money donated to the selected charities. Every donation, irrelevant of value, makes a direct difference to these charities.
