A little Run for RUN
Steve Carr / Fundraise for RUN
RUN rehabilitates refugees through sports, education, and beyond. At the moment with the pressures of COVID, closures of sport facilities, and ongoing food shortages, refugees are under huge emotional and mental pressures to get through their day to day life.

About A little Run for RUN
We (RaceBase) would usually organise the RUN Trail Race which generates funds to help RUN do amazing work. Without these funds over the last three years, RUN has had a source of charitable income vanish.Â
RUN do incredible and purposeful work and offer a wide range of programmes which impact refugees directly and purposely. From hiking to heal, to education programmes, to children services, to healthcare. They are not letting one be left behind.Â
RUN has been part of my life for the last 7Â years or so through track sessions to then organising a trail race. I feel it is now time as an individual to do what I can. It is time to stand up and be counted.Â
So at 00:01 on the 15th of April, I will leave TST Clock Tower to run 165km around most of the perimeter of Kowloon and the New Territories to the Chinese Border, and then back down the opposite side of Kowloon back to the clock tower.Â
After 7 weeks of training what could be the worst that can happen!Â
