For the 7th year the Annual Midnight Charity Race attracted over 100 racers who suited up and raced through the Shenzhen race circuit from 23:00 on November 14th. Once again, Greg Schultheis organized and hosted a fantastic event with a 5km circuit and a 10km circuit for those who enjoy a challenge.

On behalf of the Shenzhen Charity Federation, thank you so much for being a part of our 12th year, last Saturday, October 17th, 2020. And, once again, our thanks to the wonderful team at the Futian Shangri-la, Shenzhen.
Together, as a result of the generosity of everyone who attended, 1,000 lives (single moms, young women, and their children) will one day look back on 2020 as a turnaround year for them. A year of new beginnings and fortune.
