Join us for a fun and meaningful race!
Last year 130 supporters from more than 10 countries put on their running shoes in Cambodia, Thailand, Australia and Singapore and made their kilometers matter. Together they raised an incredible $35,059 to build futures for marginalized children & youth across Southeast Asia.
Join Team Friends and make your kilometers matter! For all fundraisers there’ll be chances to win some fantastic prizes, to get a Friends’ race pack and to join us a post-race brunch!
Together, let’s make our kolimeters matter!
