Welcome Home! That finish line moment always feels like you have found safety again. . Impact Marathons are not about who is the fastest, we run together. With others, for others. . And if this is your first ever race, or your 100th. . Come. On. Home.

It takes a team to build a fence #TeamFenceLove
The Impact Tunnel of Love...⠀ Imagine, after hours under the hot sun, digging deep within yourself, finding a way to keep putting one foot in front of the other...you see a group of friends in the distance, loud, energised and ready to welcome you home with all the love in the world.⠀ #powerofrunning
The man behind the camera - @adamdickens⠀ Adam has now covered all the Impact Marathons in the series and each race has brought the entire experience to life in a simply beautiful way.
Morning runs are our way of acclimatising the Impact Runners ready for race day.⠀ The first run is always a bit of a shock to the system, but it only gets easier from their as the heat, terrain, altitude all get more 'normal' by the day...
The man who makes the whole Impact Experience tick...⠀ .⠀ How much do you love/are scared of @mark_maughan ? ?⠀ .⠀ Shot by @adamdickens
It's been a few days since our race shots from #MalawiImpact came through... And we are still debating for what or to where @tolthomp is pointing...
The backwards cap... You think it's wrong and ridiculous... But then you try it... And, well, it just feels so right.

Who is ready for our Malawi Impact Race Day shots from @adamdickens ...? #powerofrunning
Easily our most ambitious Athletes' Village. For 6 years it has lain derelict on the banks of Lake Malawi...yet for our Impact Week, it came alive with a buzz of energy that still echoes around the building weeks after we have left. Until next year... . . Shot by @adamdickens

How do you acclimatise for an Impact race? Well, you get sweaty, dirty and work hard...
We have seen some pretty crazy sights on our training runs... But this one seems to defy the laws of physics. . . Shot by @adamdickens
Day 3 in Malawi... Are really an Impact Runner if you aren't a pickaxe expert by the end of the week....? . . . There's no doubt our Athletes' Village is the chocolate box of race accommodation, you just never know what you will get. It's an abandoned derelict hotel we have put on life support this week, to say it has "character" doesn't even begin to do it justice.
Malawi Impact 2019 is officially underway. From Singapore to Ottawa. From Germany to Madrid. We are one group of runners who believe that when we unite as one community, when we run with others, for others... We can, we will, change the world. Powered by @eqinvestors ¦ Shot by @adamdickens
