About

Thousands of high school and university students across Kuala Lumpur and the world gather for 24 hours in a global fight against modern slavery. In Malaysia, human trafficking remains a serious issue, affecting vulnerable communities. The 24-Hour Race is a movement that empowers youth to take action, raise awareness, and drive change in their own city

What are we fundraising for?

The 24 Hour Race, a Running To Stop The Traffik (RTSTT) initiative, equips students in major cities worldwide with the knowledge, inspiration, and tools to combat modern-day slavery.

By participating, you are directly supporting A21’s child advocacy center in Pattaya, Thailand, while also contributing to RTSTT’s youth empowerment programs, including:

Mentoring Workshops – Leadership and personal development courses
Youth Empowerment Conferences – Practical discussions on empowerment
Student Leadership Program – An 8-10 month journey in activism
Incubators – In-depth courses on ethical business and professional skills
Seeding Campaigns – 2-3 month mentored project-building competitions

Standing Strong Against Modern-Day Slavery

RTSTT remains committed to the fight against modern-day slavery, even in the face of global challenges. Now more than ever, millions of vulnerable individuals lack access to freedom, safety, and basic necessities.

With your support, we can continue our mission—mobilizing students worldwide and ensuring vital fundraising efforts make a lasting impact.

Become a runner

If you want to run a race, find out how from your school’s Team Leader. Ask how to buy a ticket, sign-up, and get all the details of what it means to be a runner. If your school does not have a Team Leader yet, email us at hello@24hourrace.org to register as your school’s team leader.
Once you have talked to the Team Leader at your school it’s time to buy a ticket. Tickets can be found here ‘Buy Ticket’.
To officially become a runner, we’ll need you to fill in a few forms. You will receive an email with all the necessary forms after you’ve purchased your ticket. Please fill in all forms as soon as you receive your email.
The next big step is to fundraise! This is a huge part of being a runner. Your role is to begin fundraising by spreading your team’s fundraising page link to your family and friends. Information on how to set up your fundraising page is found directly below.

Become a Team Leader

If you are interested in being a Team Leader, contact last year’s Team Leaders or the teacher/staff in charge of the 24 Hour Race at your school. Your school might have a specific Team Leader selection process in place. Notify the 24 Hour Race of your selection as Team Leader.
If your school is new to the 24 Hour Race or you have questions, email hello@24hourrace.org to register as your school in the race and your position as Team Leader.
After you have notified the 24 Hour Race that you have become your school’s Team Leader a form will be sent to you. After you have filled in the form and been approved you are underway to being a Team Leader.
As a Team Leader you will have to organise the teams that will run for your school. Each team consists of 8 high school students who are 14+ years old. Teams can be all girls, all boys, or mixed gender. If your school does not have 8 runners let the 24 Hour Race know.
You are responsible to make sure each team from your school creates a Give.Asia fundraising page and begins fundraising. You will also need to monitors all teams’ fundraising progress and make sure everyone is working towards reaching the fundraising goal.
