On May 25, 1986, approximately 30 million people across 76 countries participated in pop singer Bob Geldof’s “Race Against Time.” This global relay event was part of the Sport Aid campaign and aimed to raise awareness and funds for famine relief in Africa. It followed the success of Live Aid in 1985 and marked one of the largest synchronized mass-participation sporting events in history. The effort raised millions for African famine victims and spotlighted the role of global solidarity in addressing humanitarian crises.
