Venezuela earthquake relief charity runs

Overview

In late July 2026, the Venezuelan government announced a city‑wide charity race, “Corremos por Venezuela,” to be held on 26 July. The event, organized by the Ministry of Popular Power for Sport and supported by security forces, was intended to gather supplies for families living in the 107 temporary camps created after the twin earthquakes on 24 June.

A week later, the Federación de Centros Universitarios of the Universidad Central de Venezuela scheduled a night‑time 5 km race on 8 August. Open to all ages, the university race required participants to bring donated items such as food, water, medicines or toiletries, adding to the ongoing collection of relief supplies. Both events illustrate a continued community‑driven effort to support displaced residents through organized runs that combine recreation with material aid.

The progression from a capital‑wide race to a campus‑based event shows how relief initiatives are expanding to involve different sectors of society while maintaining the same goal of assisting earthquake‑affected families.
