About
Thousands of high school and university students gather all around the world for 24 hours in a global fight against slavery. Slavery can only be ended with greater awareness, understanding, and urgency. 24 Hour Races are a unique, compelling, and successful way to bring that to a generation of youth all over the world. The 24 Hour Race is a movement that brings change to hundreds of people around the world while platforming the upcoming generation to become change makers.

Fundraise MYR 2,000 per team (Fundraising target 2024)
What are we fundraising for?
The 24 Hour Race, a Running To Stop The Traffik (RTSTT) initiative, ensures that students in major cities the world have the information, inspiration, and resources to contribute to the movement to eradicate modern-day slavery.
In addition to fundraising for our strategic partnership with A21 that will help us rebuild a child advocacy center in Pattaya, Thailand, you are helping RTSTT continue its wide range of youth empowerment efforts such:
Mentoring Workshops (courses in leadership & other relevant topics)
Youth Empowerment Conferences (down-to-earth inspirational talks about empowerment)
Student Leadership (8-10 month selective leadership journey with RTSTT)
Incubators (limited, deep-dive course into ethical business & professional etiquette
Seeding Campaigns (2-3 month mentored project-building competition)
RTSTT will not let this pandemic silence our efforts to combat the scourge of modern-day slavery. Our work has never been more important. Millions of vulnerable families and individuals are without access to freedom, safety, and other primary necessities.
With your support, we can ensure that we are able to fulfill our fundraising and continue to mobilize students around the world.

-
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.
