Have you ever joined in a Beach Run before? At a Shenzhen Beach in Summer, well, this is what comes to your mind – Hot, hot, hot! Even still, this was not a deterrent to determined Shenzhen runners. 20 plus runners got up at 5:45am, put on their runners and a few other accessories, and did it for Captivating! Thanks to the amazing organizing effort of Greg Shultheis and his team (the same group behind Shenzhen’s 10km Midnight Race November of each year) June 1st saw a perfect day’s event (although a bit hot) and a great day of activity for all involved. Thanks to all runner and donors, they were able to raise RMB 5,060 for Captivating International.
P.S – it’s worth mentioning that 4 years ago Greg first had the idea of doing a midnight 10km race. 16 people did it that first year. This November (the 5th year of the race) we are expecting 200 runners. So, who knows how many runners will be doing the beach run in the years to come. 🙂
The annual STOP TRAFFICKING 5K turned out to be a fantastic fundraising event!

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.

Thank you to all those who participated in our very first global Marathon in a Month in October. A big shout out to the 160 students, parents, and faculty from QSI International School of Haiphong. Within two hours, they were able to complete 17 marathons - that's a total of 710 KM - combined! A massive thank you goes to Alyssa for leading this challenge and for encouraging the school community to run for those affected by trafficking.

We were overwhelmed by the response from the community, from participants to volunteers, and it was enjoyed by partakers and spectators alike!
