Our Mission

BOYS AS ALLIES
The All Girls Colour Run takes a unique approach by inviting boys to volunteer and serve as cheerleaders. We believe that promoting gender equality requires the involvement and support of everyone. Boys who choose to volunteer will be assigned to colour and hydration stations, where they will cheer on participants, provide encouragement, and join in the celebration by throwing coloured powder.
By involving boys as volunteers and cheerleaders, we aim to inspire them to become allies in promoting female empowerment and gender equality. Together, let's create a supportive and inclusive environment where boys and girls come together to support and empower each other.
