Every year a team of runners and walkers, known as the Running 4 Rights team, participates in the Auckland Marathon to raise awareness and project funding for people affected by leprosy.

In 2011 the Auckland Marathon took place on Sunday 30th October. 

If you would like to be part of the 2012 team please contact our Team Manager Gillian Whitley on (09) 631 1806 or email her here. She can guide you through the registration process either online or offline.

This year we invited people from all across the country (not just Auckland) to get involved in Running 4 Rights. They chose to run/walk/swim/cycle in their local fun run, marathon, triathlon or any other event you think fits the bill. If you are interested in setting up a Running 4 Rights team in your community (or you may even want to go solo!) contact Gillian today.

As a member of the Leprosy Mission's Running 4 Rights Team you will receive:

• A Running 4 Rights t-shirt
• A finish line revitalising pack
• Help getting sponsorship
• Support on the day
• The wonderful feeling of satisfaction having raised awareness and project funding for individuals and families affected by leprosy!

In 2011 the Marathon took place on Sunday October 30th and was a huge success!

Together we raised over $13,000 for leprosy-affected individuals and their families. We would like to thank everyone who took part for their committment to the Mission - it is so very appreciated.
