HOW
Participants will be given the opportunity to collect their race packs beforehand. During the run itself, which will be done during Mental Health Awareness Month (October), they are highly encouraged to either live stream or video record their run and upload it to their social media channels.

They will also be encouraged to share Limitless’ giving.sg campaign in support of The Limitless Run 2020, where their friends and family members can opt to donate to Limitless. All amassed amounts of funds will go to Limitless (Ltd.).

Participants will use a running app to track and record their time and distance. After finishing their race, they will be required to take a screenshot of their records and send it to us for verification purposes. After verification, our team will proceed to mail participants their medals.

AFTER RACE
Participants will join a Zoom webinar / online panel where we will provide in-depth answers to questions that they may have about mental health in youths.

ABOUT LIMITLESS
Limitless is a nonprofit based in Singapore, that works with youths aged 12 – 25. It was founded with the vision of building hope, empowering the next generation to live purpose-driven lives and to fulfil their potential in life.

With the aim to end powerlessness in youth caused by mental illness, poverty, and social exclusion, Limitless works primarily with young people who struggle with mental health issues. Providing subsidised or pro bono counselling, therapy, and casework for youths who struggle with existing diagnosis, or pre-diagnosed mental health issues. Limitless also actively advocates for youth mental health, through public education programs like it’s “It’s OK to be Not OK Campaign”, and it’s “I AM_ Campaign”, and works actively with schools to promote mental wellness in youth.

OVERVIEW
HOPE – a word that comes easy to some of us, but to some others, a devastatingly difficult concept to hold on to as they struggle with mental health conditions. Join us as we Run for Hope to fundraise for support for young people struggling with their mental health.

Since 2017, Limitless has been working with youths across Singapore, providing them with support through our helpline and counselling programs. Just last year, we walked journeys with 238 young people, seeing many of them reach personal goals for recovery. This year however, has been a challenge for all of us, with COVID-19 hurting jobs, incomes, families, and more importantly, our mental health. Here at Limitless, this meant both an increase in youths seeking help, and seeing many of our existing beneficiaries struggling harder than ever before.

That’s why we need YOU on board to run with us! In fact, we don’t just want to run with you! We want to empower you to support those in your own lives as well! Every runner will also be entitled to join two masterclasses run by mental health professionals and persons with lived experience. So, join us this October for The Limitless Run 2020, as we Run for Hope together!

PS: Don’t forget to add on some of ActiveSG’s merch when you register for the race! All proceeds from the race and 30% of the merch sales will go towards Limitless’ programs.
