ABOUT US.

It all began in…

Hong Kong 2010.

When Christoper Schrader ( Left picture), a Li Po Chun student, envisioned combining extreme youth endurance with philanthrapy.

His idea? A 24-hour endurance relay, entirely student-led, to fight human trafficking.

What started as a single race quickly grew into a global movement. Since 2010, the 24 Hour Race has expanded from Hong Kong to Kuala Lumpur, San Francisco, Seoul, Singapore, and xx other countries, uniting thousands of young leaders in the fight against modern slavery.

MISSION.

Challenging our generation to lead a global initiative against slavery.

VISION.

Millions of Young Voices. 24 Hours. A world without slavery.

OUR PURPOSE.

With 40 million people still enslaved today, We train and empower young leaders to take action — because the fight isn’t over until slavery is gone for good. This is why we run. We push ourselves physically and mentally to make a difference. We run to raise awareness, spark change, and stop the traffick. Young people. United. Driven by a mission to end modern slavery.

Will you run with us?

OUR APPROACH.

Social Entrepreneurship

We empower students to run every aspect of the 24 Hour Race, turning them into entrepreneurs and social innovators. Through mentorship and hands-on experience, they plan, organize, and lead events that drive real change.

With a global network of young leaders, we provide the tools, structure, and support they need to build a race, rally a team, and make an impact. The challenge is tough—but so are they.

Fundraising & Awareness

Student leaders play a key role in educating their schools about modern slavery while fundraising for the cause. With mentorship and support, they learn to manage events, advocate for change, and lead their communities.

Before race day, they host awareness events, organize speaking tours, and rally support—turning their schools into hubs for action.

STUDENT LEADERSHIP CYCLE.

  • Recruitment

    The Organizing Committee is led by key directors: Executive Director, Business Development, Operations, Community, and Marketing. Each director collaborates with a team of 3-4 specialized members, working together to bring the 24 Hour Race to life.

  • Social Entrepreneurship

    OC members join a global network of student leaders, gaining hands-on experience in leadership and innovation. Through seminars, training, and internships with partner organizations, they develop real-world skills while preparing for the 24 Hour Race.

  • Fundraising and Awareness

    Before race day, student leaders host awareness events, organize advocacy campaigns, and lead a speaking tour, where a representative from HQ visits schools to talk about modern slavery and the 24 Hour Race.

  • Execution and Handover

    The 24 Hour Race doesn’t end at the finish line. OC members gather feedback, report results, and wrap up partnerships to strengthen the race for next year. Once the handover is complete, we begin the search for the next generation of student leaders.
