Running for social causes and using sports as a vehicle for social good, is both meaningful and efficient in the world we live in today! Here is one such opportunity!
Relay Majulah
Relay Majulah is a ground-up initiative by a group of like-minded and passionate friends to form a 200-runners team to conquer 2,000km over 8 days (2-10 Nov 2019) to raise funds for President’s Challenge and to unite the community, for the community. It is held specially in conjunction with the Bicentennial Celebrations and SG Cares.
The movement seeks to also create awareness of the social causes in our society and how that we stand in solidarity with our friends as they overcome and conquer all odds.
The ONEathlete and RunONE Team will also be participating with the rest of the 200 runners. Join us in championing change in the lives of many and in our society; and to build a nation that truly cares.

About the President’s Challenge
The President’s Challenge is an annual community outreach and fundraising campaign for charities selected every year by the President’s Challenge. It is a call to all Singaporeans in doing their part in building a more caring and inclusive society. Initiated in 2000 by former President S R Nathan, the Challenge represents the coming together of people from all walks of life, to help the less fortunate.
In 2012, under the leadership of former President Tony Tan Keng Yam, the Challenge was expanded to go beyond fundraising by including volunteerism and social entrepreneurship. In 2018, President Halimah Yacob announced a $10 million fund (Empowering For Life Fund) which will empower vulnerable groups through skills upgrading, capacity-building and employment.
