Join us for a bit of exercise and encouragement as we help the RUN beneficiaries with their track training session!

About the Charity: RUN serves the refugees and asylum seekers in Hong Kong with a special focus on women. 

About this Activity: AWA members have a chance to join RUN's beneficiaries for their weekly track training session to engage with and encourage the beneficiaries. Run supports refugees to participate in local trail races that span distances anywhere from 5km to 100km, because experience has shown that working towards and achieving such goals helps to boost self-esteem and increases a sense of belonging and integration with the local community.

NOTE: Although this is only a moderate sports activity, kindly ensure that you are healthy before you sign up for this activity.
