THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!

On Sunday July 1, 2007 12,869 youths and adults - from schools and corporates, youth organizations and other community partners - took to the streets as a part of a large party, to celebrate National Youth Day. Each year, the MilkRun draws a strong crowd of over 10,000 people in a festive spirit of friendship amidst a lively carnival atmosphere.
Whether you are a serious competitive runner, a fitness buff, a fun runner or a supporter, there is something for you.

The celebration included 8.4km and 5.3km races with special categories for VWOs, a Community Run, a youth parade, concert and bazaar. Over 5, 300 children and youth from schools and tertiary institutions turned up for the run, performed in the concert and youth parade, ran bazaar stalls or simply to add flavour and colour to the day’s festivities.

Last year we raised a total of $1,424,851.46 which includes $61,362.20 in cash sponsorship for event organizing costs. Other event costs such as venue, water, isotonic drinks, goodie bag items, logistics and refreshments were sponsored in kind and valued at $135,522.21. Hence, the total cost of the event is $193,884.41 which is 13.6% of the total funds collected. However, as event costs were fully underwritten by sponsors either in cash or in kind, every dollar of your contribution will go towards our programmes for disadvantaged children and youths. A copy of the audited statement of accounts can be found under Financial Information, 2007 accounts for your perusal.

Previously known as the Streetwise Run, the race has been held every National Youth Day since 2001.

The Citi-MilkRun is an event for youths by youths:
Since 2001, youths from diverse backgrounds volunteer their time and energy in putting together an event where marginalized and mainstream youths come together in a spirit of friendship, co-operation and unity.By getting vibrant and diverse youths to be part of our annual youth day event, we show them that our society values them and applauds their efforts in keeping their own lives on track.
